Scientific paper

The design of a high resolution 3 dimensional brain PET is presented. Thanks to its novel geometry a 3D measurement of the gamma interaction point in the detector is possible. Each 3D PET camera module consists of a matrix of long scintillation crystals, axially oriented, readout on both sides by Hybrid Photon Detectors. This concept leads to an image reconstruction free of parallax error and provides a uniform spatial and energy resolution over the whole sensitive volume. Furthermore it allows to enhance sensitivity by reconstructing a substantial fraction of the gamma quanta that underwent Compton scattering in the detectors.
