| 20080277589 | SEMICONDUCTOR RADIOACTIVE RAY DETECTOR, RADIOACTIVE RAY DETECTION MODULE, AND NUCLEAR MEDICINE DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS - The present invention provides a semiconductor radioactive ray detector having the excellent energy resolution or time precision, a radioactive detection module, and a nuclear medicine diagnosis apparatus. The semiconductor radioactive ray detector has a structure in which plate-like elements made of cadmium telluride and conductive members are alternately laminated and the plate-like element made of cadmium telluride and the conductive member are adhered to each other with a conductive adhesive agent, and the Young's modulus of the conductive adhesive agent is in the range from 350 MPa to 1000 MPa, while the conductive members are made from a material with the linear expansion coefficient of the conductive members in the range from 5×10 | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090084947 | METHOD FOR CALIBRATING NUCLEAR MEDICINE DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS - A nuclear medicine diagnosis apparatus, which rotates a rod-shaped radiation source or a point radiation source while changing the radius thereof and carries out a calibration work, is provided to resolve the following problems. If detector calibration is carried out using a cylindrical phantom whose interior is filled with a | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090090867 | NUCLEAR MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS - A nuclear medical diagnosis apparatus comprises a nuclear radiation detector for detecting a nuclear radiation generated by a nuclide arranged in a body of a subject, a correcting radiation applying mechanism for directing a correcting radiation generated by a correcting radiation source to the subject so that the correcting radiation passes through the subject to be detected by the nuclear radiation detector, and

| 20090092229 | RADIOLOGICAL IMAGING APPARATUS - A radiological imaging apparatus of the present invention comprises an image pickup device and a medical examinee holding device that is provided with a bed. The image pickup device includes a large number of radiation detectors and radiation detector support plates. A large number of radiation detectors are mounted around the circumference of a through-hole and arranged in the axial direction of the through-hole. The radiation detectors are arranged in three layers formed radially with respect to the center of the through-hole and mounted on the lateral surfaces of the radiation detector support plates. Since the radiation detectors are not only arranged in the axial direction and circumferential direction of the through-hole but also arrayed in the radial direction, it is possible to obtain accurate information about a γ-ray arrival position in the radial direction of the through-hole (the positional information about a radiation detector from which a γ-ray image pickup signal is output). The use of accurate information about γ-ray arrival increases the tomogram accuracy. As a result, the present invention enhances the tomogram accuracy, that is, the PET examination accuracy. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090108208 | RADIATION DETECTION MODULE, PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD, AND RADIOLOGICAL IMAGING APPARATUS - There are provided a radiation detection module, a printed circuit board, and a radiological imaging apparatus which make it possible to enhance spatial resolution without increasing channel number, and thereby to perform high-accuracy diagnosis. The radiation detection module includes a plurality of radiation detectors, and a wiring board on which the plurality of radiation detectors are mounted in a manner of being arranged in at least a radiation traveling direction. Here, on the wiring board, a pair of the radiation detectors which are adjacent to each other in the radiation traveling direction are electrically connected to each other, thereby configuring one detector structure (i.e., detection channel). Moreover, the radiation detectors are mounted onto the wiring board such that respective connection parts of electrodes, which are to be electrically connected to each other, are in a mutually-facing state. | 04-30-2009 |
