20130062525 | Positron Emission Tomography Block Detector Interconnect - Using standard or “off the shelf” cable to interconnect between the PET block detector and the detector circuit may save substantial costs given the number of PMTs in a PET system. Given space constraints, simple maintenance with reduced risk of disturbing cabling is desired, making ongoing use of standard cabling without adding further cabling desired. To implement digital gain control, a further communication is provided between the PET detector block and the detector circuit. Since the standard cable may not have additional wires for such communications and to reduce timing degradation, the PMT signals are combined, such as generating position and energy signals at the PET detector block. The four PMT signals are reduced to three signals without reduction in function, allowing a fourth twisted pair of wires in a CAT5 cable to be used for digital gain control. | 03-14-2013 |

A time alignment is performed for scintillator crystals of the detectors based on TOF computations based on gamma photons associated with the radioactive calibration source. Baseline data is acquired using intrinsic background radiation of the scintillator crystals, without any object in the FOV. A first set of data, based on the baseline data, is stored in a memory of the scanner. After the acquisition of the baseline data, test data is acquired using intrinsic background radiation of the scintillator crystals, without any object in the FOV. A calibration status of the scanner or of an environment surrounding the scanner is automatically checked based on a comparison between the stored first set of data and a second set of data. | 10-22-2015 |
