摘要: 为了满足具有飞行时间技术特点的正电子发射断层扫描仪(TOF-PET)对光输出高、衰减时间短以及上升时间快的Ce∶LYSO闪烁晶体的需要,本文采用中频感应提拉法生长φ100 mm×100 mm级Ca∶Ce∶LYSO闪烁晶体。晶体整体无色透明、无包裹体。经过紫外可见分光光度计测试,晶体透过率接近理论值,质量较好。将晶体切割研磨抛光后,分别进行脉冲高度谱、衰减时间能谱等测试。在137Cs放射源激发下,Ca∶Ce∶LYSO晶体的光输出达到33 962 ph/MeV,能量分辨率为8.6%,衰减时间达到36.70 ns,均优于Ce∶LYSO晶体。通过对晶体轴向及尾部径向取样,相对光输出和能量分辨率不均匀性分别为±2.4%、±9.4%及±1.18%、±6.8%,证明晶体具有较好的均匀性。

Abstract: In order to satisfy the requirement of the time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET), the Ce:LYSO scintillator should have higher light output, shorter decay time and faster rise time. The transparent and inclusions-free Ca:Ce:LYSO scintillation crystal with size of φ100 mm×100 mm was successfully grown by frequency induction Czochralski method. The transmittance of the prepared crystal tested by UV-Vis spectrophotometer is close to the theoretical value, indicating its excellent quality. After cutting, grinding and polishing, the pulse height spectrum and decay time of the Ca:Ce:LYSO scintillation crystal were tested respectively. The measured light output, energy resolution and decay time are 33 962 ph/MeV, 8.6%, 36.70 ns, respectively,which shows its superior scintillation properties than Ce:LYSO. The inhomogeneity of relative light output and energy resolution of axial sampling are ±2.4% and ±9.4%, and those of the tail-radial sampling are ±1.18% and ±6.8% respectively, which proves the crystal has good uniformity.
