The modularity allows the assembly of scanners of different sizes and characteristics in order to fit the specific needs of the individual member institutions. Now a first demonstrator is being completed in Julich. The system performs depth of interaction detection by using a phoswich arrangement combining LSO and LuYAP scintillators which are coupled to multi-channel photomultipliers (PMTs). A free-running ADC digitizes the signal from the PMT and the complete scintillation pulses are sampled by an FPGA and sent with 20 MB/S to a PC for preprocessing. The pulse provides information about the gamma energy and the scintillator material which identifies the interaction layer. Furthermore, the exact pulse starting time is obtained from the sampled data. This is important as no hardware coincidence detection is implemented. All single events are recorded and coincidences are identified by software. An advantage of that is that the coincidence window and the dimensions of the field of view can be adjusted easily. The ClearPET™ demonstrator is equipped with 10240 crystals on 80 PMTs. This paper presents an overview of the data acquisition system.}, language = {en} } @article{ChristHollendungLarueetal.2004, author = {Christ, D. and Hollendung, A. and Larue, H. and Parl, C. and Streun, M. and Weber, S. and Ziemons, Karl and Halling, H.}, title = {Homogenization of the MultiChannel PM gain by inserting light attenuating masks}, series = {2003 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, Vol. 4}, journal = {2003 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, Vol. 4}, issn = {1082-3654}, pages = {2382 -- 2385}, year = {2004}, abstract = {MultiChannel Photomultipliers (PM), like the R7600-00-M64 or R5900-00-M64 from Hamamatsu, are often chosen as photodetectors in high-resolution positron emission tomography (PET). A major problem of this PM is the nonuniform channel gain. In order to solve this problem, light attenuating masks were created. The aim of the masks is a homogenization of the output of all 64 channels using different hole sizes at the channel positions. The hole area, which is individually defined for the different channels, is inversely proportional to the channel gain. The measurements by inserting light attenuating masks improved a homogenization to a ratio of 1:1.2.}, language = {en} } @article{ZiemonsHeinrichsStreunetal.2004, author = {Ziemons, Karl and Heinrichs, U. and Streun, M. and Pietrzyk, U.}, title = {Validation of GEANT3 simulation studies with a dual-head PMT ClearPET™ prototype}, series = {2003 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, Vol. 5}, journal = {2003 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, Vol. 5}, issn = {1082-3654}, pages = {3053 -- 3056}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The ClearPET™ project is proposed by working groups of the Crystal Clear Collaboration (CCC) to develop a 2nd generation high performance small animal positron emission tomograph (PET). High sensitivity and high spatial resolution is foreseen for the ClearPET™ camera by using a phoswich arrangement combining mixed lutetium yttrium aluminum perovskite (LuYAP:Ce) and lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) scintillating crystals. Design optimizations for the first photomultiplier tube (PMT) based ClearPET camera are done with a Monte-Carlo simulation package implemented on GEANT3 (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland). A dual-head prototype has been built to test the frontend electronics and was used to validate the implementation of the GEANT3 simulation tool. Multiple simulations were performed following the experimental protocols to measure the intrinsic resolution and the sensitivity profile in axial and radial direction. Including a mean energy resolution of about 27.0\% the simulated intrinsic resolution is about (1.41±0.11)mm compared to the measured of (1.48±0.06)mm. The simulated sensitivity profiles show a mean square deviation of 12.6\% in axial direction and 3.6\% in radial direction. Satisfactorily these results are representative for all designs and confirm the scanner geometry.}, language = {en} } @article{AuffrayBruyndonckxDevroedeetal.2004, author = {Auffray, E. and Bruyndonckx, P. and Devroede, O. and Fedorov, A. and Ziemons, Karl}, title = {The ClearPET project}, series = {Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment}, volume = {527}, journal = {Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment}, number = {1-2}, isbn = {0168-9002}, pages = {171 -- 174}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The Crystal Clear Collaboration has designed and is building a high-resolution small animal PET scanner.

The complete system will have 80 PM tubes in four rings with an inner diameter of 137 mm and an axial field of view of 110 mm. The PM pulses are digitized by free-running ADCs and digital data processing determines the gamma energy, the phoswich layer and even the pulse arrival time. Single gamma interactions are recorded and coincidences are found by software. The gantry allows rotation of the detector modules around the field of view.
