Abstract
A ring detector positron camera system for brain metabolism studies is being constructed at the Institute of Physics, University of Stockholm, in collaboration with the Departments of Neuroradiology and clinical Neurophysiology, Karolinska Sjukhuset, Stockholm, Sweden. The instrument utilizes 95 NaI(Tl) detectors and will simultaneously record coincidences from 1900 detector combinations. Each detector is coupled in coincidence with forty detectors on the opposite side of the ring. In the conventional stationary mode of operation the experimental system resolution is 10.5 mm. A new sampling technique has been developed to reduce the system resolution. Based on this technique, an experimental system resolution of 7 mm has been obtained.Keywords
