Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for determining a position of a photon gamma interaction in a PET detector. The PET detector may include a crystal array and a single-end read-out structure. The single-end read-out structure may include a photon-sensor array optically coupled with the crystal array. The crystal array may include a plurality of crystal elements arranged along a first direction and a second direction. The crystal elements may form a plurality of crystal groups along the first direction. The PET detector may further include a plurality of optical separators of the same or different lengths configured to control light transmission in the PET detector. The position of the photon gamma interaction in a crystal group may be determined based on output information of the photon-sensor array optically coupled with the crystal group.

Claim (Index 17):
The PET detector of  claim 16 , wherein the optical window of the at least one crystal group includes:\n for each of the at least two crystal elements of the at least one crystal group, an optical separator mounted on each side surface of the crystal element that faces an neighboring crystal element of the crystal element along the first direction, a length of the optical separator equal to a length of at least one of the crystal element or the neighboring crystal element, the length of the optical separator and the length of the at least one of the crystal element or the neighboring crystal element being along the third direction; a light transmission medium covering the second ends of the at least two crystal elements of the at least one crystal group, each side surface of the light transmission medium that faces a neighboring crystal group of the at least one crystal group being coated with a light reflective material.
