Large-Area Photosensor, Large-Area Radiation Detector And Medical PET Scanner

Available for licensing rights are large-area photosensor panels and large-area radiation detectors, and/or positron emission tomography (PET) scanner that can be formed by assembling the large-area photosensor panels. The sensor panels are made of closely packed “ABALONE” photosensors (described in US patent publication 2013/0112856 A1), and these panels can be easily shipped and assembled into a large, full-body PET scanner. This would be the first ever full-body PET scanner capable of enclosing the entire human body within a seamless gamma-ray sensitive surface, simultaneously, during the examination time. The expected gain in the detection efficiency leads to a proportional reduction in the radioactive dose given to the patient, which in turn opens up the PET diagnostic technique to the general population, through preventive mass screenings of still healthy people for the presence of otherwise hardly detectable malignancies.
