GranSasso, Jul-2002 Andreas Pfeiffer, CERN/IT-API, andreas.pfeiffer@cern.ch 3-Apr-2001 Anaphe -- OO Data Analysis using C++ and Python Andreas Pfeiffer, CERN/IT-API, andreas.pfeiffer@cern.ch GAMOS tutorialPETExercises PET simulation Exercises Ex. 1: Define PET geometry Ex. 2: Obtain information about what is happening in a PET Ex. 3: Detector effects The exercises are sequential Use the commands of the previous exercise (only change what indicated PET Exercise 1a: PET geometry 2 cm X 2 cm X 10 cm LSO crystals LSO: Lu 76.4016%, Si 6.1328%, O 17.4656% Block of 8X8 crystals 20 blocks in a ring of radius 60 cm Pace 5 rings blocks along Z separated 10 cm Water sphere of radius 2 cm at the centre of the rings Source of 511 keV photons at (0,0,0) towards the X axis PET Exercise 1b: use F18 as source Place F18 homogeneously distributed in the water sphere Activity: 1 milliCurie PET Exercise 2a: obtain information Make info about the physics processes that occur Make the crystal sensitive detector and produce signals (hits) Obtain histograms about hits quantities (energy, position, …) Get detailed info about Compton and Photoelectric effect in crystals PET Exercise 2b: standard physics Use GEANT4 standard electromagnetic package, instead of low energy electromagnetic package Observe differences in energy distribution Observe differences in processes occurring Observe differences in CPU time PET Exercise 2c: Classify events as PET events A PET event is the one that has two signals of energy about 511 keV in the crystals Classification is done looking at the reconstructed hits Define a RecHitBuilder that sums all the energy of the crystals in a block of 8X8, and assign the position as the centre of the crystal with biggest energy Count % of PET events How many are false coincidences In how many the line joining the two crystals passes too far from the F18 positron creation PET Exercise 3a: Energy resolution Set crystal energy resolution as 20% Observe di
