摘要： The energy response of an imaging detector based on a monolithic crystal is highly dependent on the position of the gamma ray interaction, which leads to a spectral drift of the imaging detector, known as the spectral drift related to incident position. It deteriorates the energy resolution of the detector and affects the selection of the energy window for imaging, resulting in artefacts in the reconstructed image. Thus, a energy response correction method is proposed to improve the positional consistency of the detector energy response. In both simulation and physical experiments, the method improved the full-energy peak consistency of the monolithic crystal detector, which results in improved energy resolution of the detector, more accurate selection of the energy window, and imaging quality. Especially, in physical experiments, the method converges the peak sites of 365keV energy at each location, which reduced the half-height width of characteristic peak (@365 keV) from 53 to 38 channels, improved the energy resolution by 28.3%, transformed the incomplete mask projection into a complete mask projection, and the signal-to-noise ratio increased from 2.38 to 5.37.

摘要： This paper proposes a radiation imaging system based on neural network ray positioning and a monolithic crystal detector. The monolithic crystal detector consists of a 5mm-thick monolithic LaBr3(Ce) crystal coupled with a SiPM array, demonstrating excellent system uniformity under 662 keV gamma-ray irradiation from Cs-137, with an energy resolution of 5.3%. By employing a 32-FCNN ray positioning model, the imaging system achieves an intrinsic spatial resolution of 2.67 mm, with an effective output area covering 81.3% of the detector surface, showing good positional linearity. The imaging capability of the system was evaluated through experiments. Results indicate that when an I-131 source is positioned 82 cm from the detector, with a focal length a of 10 cm (distance between detector and coding plate) and object distance b of 72 cm (distance between radiation source and coding plate), the reconstructed central point-source image using maximum likelihood estimation reconstruction algorithm with 20 iterations achieves a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 14.2. Furthermore, the system exhibits a spatial resolution of 21 mm and an imaging range of ±11.2°.
