摘要：

We have developed a simulation to model position encoding multicrystal detectors for positron emission tomography. The simulation is designed to treat the interactions of energetic photons in a scintillator, the geometry of the multicrystal array, as well as the propagation and detection of individual scintillation photons. The simulation is tested with a model of the EXACT AR PLUS block detector manufactured by Siemens-CTI, Position and energy responses derived from the simulation are compared to measured ones. Line spread functions, for four columns of crystals, are reproduced with an accuracy of +/- 0.5 mm, The crystal-by-crystal photopeak pulse heights and FWHM's are also predicted within a range of +/- 14%, and (-6)(+9)%, respectively.
