摘要:

本研究的目的是设计和评估一个简单的自由运行的模拟-数字转换器(ADC)的现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)设备的基础上完成的能量和位置读出的硅光电倍增器(SiPM)阵列的应用程序作为PET扫描仪。这种基于进位链时间-数字转换器(TDC)的FPGA ADC在Kintex-7 FPGA上实现,仅由一个片外电阻组成,因此在提高系统集成度和降低成本方面比商用芯片具有更大的优势。本文提出了一种基于FPGA ADC的前端电子学原型,并讨论了设计原理和实现考虑。使用8 × 8(晶体尺寸:4 × 4 × 15 mm 3)和12 × 12(晶体尺寸:2.65 × 2.65 × 15 mm 3)分段LYSO晶体与在22 Na点源激发下的8 × 8 SiPM(J系列,来自ON Semiconductor)阵列耦合进行实验。初始测试结果表明,校正后的两个探测器的能量分辨率为13.2%和13.5%左右,在511 keV,和洪水直方图的轮廓显示了清晰的可视化的离散闪烁体元件。所有测量均在室温(~25度)下进行,无需额外冷却

英文摘要:

The aim of this study is to design and evaluate a simple free running Analog-Digital Converter (ADC) based on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device to accomplish the energy and position readout of the silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array for application as PET scanners. This simple FPGA-ADC based on a carry chain Time-Digital Converter (TDC) implemented on a Kintex-7 FPGA consists of only one off-chip resistor so it has greater advantages in improving system integration and reducing cost than commercial chips. In this paper, a FPGA-ADC based front-end electronics prototype is presented, and both the design principle and implementation considerations are discussed. Experiments were performed using an 8 x 8 (crystal size: 4 x 4 x 15 mm3 ) and a 12 x 12 (crystal size: 2.65 x2.65 x 15 mm3 ) segmented LYSO crystals coupled with an 8 x 8 SiPM (Jseries, from ON Semiconductor) array which is under 22Na point source excitation. Initial test results indicate that the energy resolution of the two detectors after correction is around 13.2% and 13.5 % at 511 keV, and the profiles of the flood histograms show a clear visualization of the discrete scintillator element. All measurements were carried out at room temperature (~25 degree), without additional cooling
