2 Outline Functional Imaging (PET/SPECT) X-ray diffraction in crystals Laue lens design

3 SPECT vs PET SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) γemitter (e.g. Tc99m kev T 1/ 6h) collimator in front of the gamma camera PET (Positron Emission Tomography) β + emitter (e.g. 18FDG T 1/ 110m) > e + annihilates with an e - > γ 511 kev (180 ) coincidence control

6 X-ray Diffraction in Crystals There are possible diffraction geometry: Bragg (reflection ) geometry Diffraction planes parallel to crystal surface Incident photons Crystal surface Diffracted photons d spacing sin θ hc d hkl 1 E Laue (transmission ) geometry Diffraction planes normal to crystal surface Incident photons Crystal surface Diffracted photons d spacing

7 Flat Crystals Limitation on perfect crystals Incident photons ½ of the photons ½ of the photons

8 RC of flat Crystals (flat Ge crystal, (111) planes, To5 mm, E140.6 kev) dhkl FWHM δ 1 Λ 0 arcsec, πv cosθ Λ c B 0 ; λre C Fhkl R peak 1 low acceptance and reflectivity

9 Curved Crystals Curved crystals prevent factor ½ effect, due to continuous change of the incidence angle so that only a single diffraction occurs onto curved crystalline planes. Methods for curving a crystal: using an external device (holder) applying a force on the crystal applying a thermal gradient perpendicular to the considered planes growing a two-component crystal (e.g. Si 1-x Ge x ) whose composition varies along the crystal growth axis depositing a coating or by grinding or grooving a face of the crystal

10 RC of Curved Crystals (curved Ge crystal, (111) planes, To1 mm, Ω10, E140.6 kev) R peak (1 e π d Λ hkl 0 R C ) e µ T0 cosθ B T, R 0 C Malgrange Ω high acceptance and high reflectivity

11 Laue lens in Nuclear Medicine Curved crystal Opticsin LAUE geometry Detector Gamma-ray source A Laue Lens is composed by a set of (curved) crystal disposed in concentric rings, each with a different crystallographic orientation (different d means different θ B ). In fact, photons have the same energy E, but impinges in to the crystal surface with different angle so, in order to focus most of them into a common point, the lens must offer a wide acceptance.

12 lens design detector lens equation: 1 f L S L D, where L S R tan( θ α) B L D R tan( θ + α) B f R tan( θ ) B L S +L D is minimum when α 0, thus LS LD f θ B 1 > sin θ B θ B, thus, for each ring R θ B L S θ B hc 1 E h + k a + l setting E, L S and material > R not all orientation (h,k,l) can be used because of the superpositions isotropic monochromatic source setting Lt, Lr > n n π/atan(lt /(R -Lr ))

13 Lens efficiency calculation peak N c N eff eff R A A A 1 1 g r t S t c A L L L L A < Ω 4 S s L L N π Φ each crystal can diffract only photons with θ θ-θ B <Ω, thus, only a portion of the crystal is useful > Lr small The collecting area of each crystal is Effective area of the lens eff L D A N Φ Ω N peak N B S eff S D R L A N N ε θ π ε photons diffracted/s incident flux Efficiency of the lens

14 Lens efficiency calculation ε do not depends on n R peak is low for the outermost rings > N < 15 ε do not depends on Lt and Lr T 0 is set for maximising R peak (ε ) Ω as high as possible 1 ε θ B Ω (1 e T k Ω 0 ) e µ T cosθ 0 B

15 Lens PSF calculation The beam diffracted by a crystal produces, on the focal plane, a rectangular response with width equal to T 0 θ B -ΩL S. By considering the contribution of each crystal in every ring, the PSF can be calculated: RES x f f ( T 0, Ω, L S ) ph RES has a minimum for T 0 T 0opt RES decreases if Ω and L S increase CSNR S N N S >> N N A d CG CSNR CSNR lens spect ε ε lens spect RES RES spect lens Φ Φ d G L f ph A A eff d

22 Conclusions By using a Laue Lens, could be obtained diagnostic images having both a better resolution (more than 0 times) and a better CSNR (,15 times at least) with respect of a standard gamma-camera system (considering the same dose given to the patient). The lens maps each point of the source in a narrow spot on the focal plane (ideally a point). Therefore, by moving the lens, or an array of lenses, along three axis, a whole scan of the source could be performed without need of tomography.
