TNS-00224-final 1 Development of a Multi-pixel Photon Counter Module for Positron Emission Tomography K. Shimizu, H. Uchida, K. Sakai, M. Hirayanagi, S. Nakamura, T. Omura  resolution with a single 3 mm × 3 mm × 25 mm LYSO Abstract—A new detector module for positron emission scintillator, which was a good result. tomography using multi-pixel photon counters (MPPCs) was Other than TOF-PET, possibility of PET-MRI and DOI-PET developed. The detection area is 40 mm × 40 mm using an 8 × 8 has been considered. Many of previous studies were either MPPC array. The active area of each MPPC is 3 mm × 3 mm. The feasibility studies or device evaluations [1]–[8]. In the present detector module contains preamplifiers, digital to analog paper, a newly developed large-area detector module is converters for setting the bias offset, a 2D resistor network for proposed that offers advantages such as ease of use, a four-side position encoding, a high voltage module, a temperature sensor, and embedded microprocessor units. Since the MPPC gain buttable structure, temperature compensation, and the absence depends on temperature, compensation was performed by of any need for an external high voltage (HV) power supply. varying the bias voltage. Two kinds of flood images of an 8 × 8 array (5 mm pitch) and a 32 × 32 (1.25 mm pitch) array were acquired
