Nuclear Imaging – PET
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner is the state-of-the-art medical imaging system
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner is the state-of-the-art medical imaging system, capable of providing detailed functional information of physiological processes inside the human body. PET represents a beautiful example of integration of skills and competences from medicine, nuclear chemistry, physics and information technology.
The SP5700-EasyPET, sketched in the table, opens the possibility of teaching by doing the basics behind PET imaging, which is certainly an asset to highlevel educational laboratories.
The experiments proposed in this section are performed by using the CAEN portable didactic PET system, developed by University of Aveiro (PT).

Experiments
- SG6131 – Basic Measurements: Gamma Spectroscopy and System Linearity
Gamma spectroscopy studies by using a gamma radioactive sources and by analyzing the signals produced by the interaction of the gamma with one of the scintillating crystals of the system. - SG6132 – Positron Annihilation Detection
Positron annihilation detection by using a couple of detectors composed of a LYSO scintillating crystal coupled to a Silicon Photomultiplier (SiMP). - SG6133 – Two-dimensional Reconstruction of a Radioactive Source
Understanding the technique of the nuclear imaging and the setup optimization of the parameters by performing two-dimensional image reconstruction of 22Na radioactive source. - SG6134 – Spatial Resolution
Evaluation of the spatial resolution of a PET system composed of two detector modules.
