  • Setup of SIPM based PET detector using LSO background radiation
    Patent number: 10775520
    Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring a radiation detector are provided. A first event is detected at a first scintillator crystal of a first detector unit. A second coincident event is detected at a second scintillator crystal of a second detector unit adjacent to the first detector unit. Operating parameters are calculated for the first detector unit based on the coincident events.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 7, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2020
    Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
