Nuclear medicine using radioactive tracers inserted into the patient’s body are detected by specialized radiation sensors, creating a functional image. Also called physiological imaging, is a technique used to measure changes in metabolism, blood flow, regional chemical composition and absorption.
Applications
Particle Physics
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)
Important SiPM Characteristics
SiPM Advantage = Application Benefit
Immune to magnetic fields = Suitable to combine with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Four-sided buttable = Higher resolution
Low jitter = Higher TOF resolution
