Segmented scintillation detector for encoding the coordinates of photon interactions

摘要: Light guides (1) capable of encoding the transverse and longitudinal coordinates light emission induced by interaction photons in an array a plurality guides. Each guide has at least two discrete crystal segments (4) adjacently disposed along common axis (1). Between adjacent is boundary layer (7) having less transmission than (4). A absorbing mask (8) increases adsorption segment Photons enter cause scintillation which delivered different resolvable quantities to sensing devices. The differences quantity caused successive decreases part layers (7). establish from took place.
