摘要： Each semiconductor radiation detector used for a nuclear medicine diagnostic apparatus (PET apparatus) is constructed with an anode electrode A facing a cathode electrode C sandwiching a CdTe semiconductor member S which generates charge through interaction with γ-rays. Then, a thickness t of the semiconductor member S sandwiched between these mutually facing anode electrode A and cathode electrode C is set to 0.2 to 2 mm. Furthermore, the devices are mounted (laid out) on substrates in such a way that the distance (distance of conductor) between the semiconductor radiation detector and an analog ASIC which processes the signal detected by this detector is shortened. Furthermore, the substrates on which the detectors are mounted are housed in a housing as a unit (detector unit).

摘要： A γ-ray signal processing section 60′ determines a detection time of a γ ray based on a α-ray detection signal outputted from a semiconductor radiation detector for detecting the γ ray, and determines the energy of the γ ray. Then, a time correction circuit 70 obtains, based on the energy of the γ ray, a detection value of the detection time that corresponds to the energy of the γ ray from a time correction table indicating the relationship between the energy of the γ ray and the correction value of the detection time of the γ ray, and corrects the detection time according to the obtained correction value of the detection time. Coincidence counting is performed on the γ ray in a coincidence counting circuit 80 based on the corrected detection time.

摘要： An X-ray CT image of a low spatial resolution image is acquired by employing a PET-X-ray CT examination apparatus. Also, a PET image is acquired by employing the PET-X-ray CT examination apparatus. Furthermore, an X-ray CT image of a high spatial resolution image is acquired by employing another X-ray CT examination apparatus. Then, the X-ray CT image equal to the low spatial resolution image is corrected by employing the X-ray CT image, so that an X-ray CT image equal to a high spatial resolution image is obtained. Since a positional relationship of the resulting X-ray CT image with respect to the PET image can be grasped, this PET image can be simply synthesized with the X-ray CT image like an image.
