Ce:LYSO have become the most commonly used scintillators in PET detector design studies since the early 2000s, as they offer a good trade off among the aforementioned factors.The continuing demand for better image quality, shorter scan time, and lower radiation dose to the patient has resulted in ongoing research in the field of positron emission tomography (PET) .The design of a PET scanner is specially challenging since it should not compromise high spatial resolution, high sensitivity, high count-rate capability, and good energy and time resolution. Scintillators with fast decay time characteristics have always been the radiation detection materials pursued by high-energy physics experiments, nuclear physics and positron emission tomography. They are beneficial for high count rate and time resolution of nanosecond and sub-nanosecond orders.
Ce:LYSO Scintillator Crystal—A non-hygroscopic high performance
scintillator
Cerium doped LYSO crystals coupled to SiPMs have been widely
incorporated into PET systems recently and promising results have
been reported. Ce:LYSO is a inorganic scintillation crystal with
good comprehensive performance, its luminous decay time is short,
high light yield, the gamma ray with strong stopping power, at the
same time, physical and chemical performance is stable, not
deliquesce in the air, has been widely applied in nuclear medicine
imaging, nuclear radiation measurement, safety inspection, etc.
Ce:LYSO is a mixed LSO/YSO non-hygroscopic crystal that offers high
density (7.1,10%Y), high light output (26000–30000 ph/MeV), good
energy resolution( ~10%) and short decay time (40 ns). We are
focusing on providing high performance scintillation crystals for
our customers according to their requirements.
