Overview
CAEN realized different modular Educational Kits. The set-up are based on a portable Digital MCA for Gamma spectroscopy and a Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) state of-the-art sensor of light with single photon sensitivity and unprecedented photon number capability. The goal is to inspire students and guide them towards the analysis and comprehension of different physics phenomena with a series of experiments based on state-of-the art technologies, instruments and methods.
What’s inside
EasyPET is a simple, user friendly and portable didactic PET system developed for high-level education, which allows exploring the physical and technological principles of the conventional human PET scanners, using the same basic detectors of state-of- the-art systems. The 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. Functional imaging has a great impact in cancer diagnostics, monitoring of therapy effects and cancer drug development. The underlying principle to PET systems is the detection of high energy radiation emitted from a chemical marker, a molecule labelled with a radioisotope, administered to a patient. The radioisotope emits positrons which, after annihilating with atomic electrons, result in the isotropic emission of two photons back to back with an energy of 511 keV. The two photons are detected by a ring of detectors, which allows a pair of them to detect two back to back photons in any direction.
The DT5770 is a compact portable Digital MCA for Gamma spectroscopy. It is suited for high energy resolution semiconductor detectors, like HPGe and Silicon Drift Detector, connected to a Charge Sensitive Preamplifier. The unit can also properly operate directly connected to a PMT with inorganic scintillators (e.g. Nal or Csl scintillators), provided exponential pulse shape and decay time above 200 ns. It integrates analog front-end with programmable gain and possible AC coupling.
Easy PET Control Software
EasyPET is controlled through a Graphic User Interface (GUI), developed in Visual Basic, which allows setting the acquisition parameters, performing the acquisition, visualizing the reconstructed image in real time during acquisition and recording the data for the offline analysis, performing calibration and spatial resolution measurements.
