Computer simulation of detecting system of compact positron-emission tomograph based on scintillator-photodiode detectors

We present the original computer code for the simulation of multi-element detection system of the compact positron-emission tomograph based on a scintillator-photodiode type of detection elements. The use of such type of detection elements allows obtaining a high spatial resolution at a relatively small total size of the tomograph. This program gives an opportunity to choose the optimal geometry of detection system depending on the parameters of its elements, and analyze the efficiency of different image reconstruction algorithms. The handy interface for the designed compact positron-emission tomograph operation has been created.
