Title: Paul Lecoq and a Segmented Metascintillator Detector for Gamma Rays.
Introduction
Paul Lecoq is an inventor based in Chevry, France. His work includes a patent for a gamma-ray detection device designed primarily for positron emission tomography (PET) scanners. The invention addresses key detector performance goals, including efficient gamma-ray detection, precise localization, and improved timing.
Latest Patents
Lecoq is associated with 1 patent: “Device for the Detection of Gamma Rays Based on Segmented Metascintillator Block Detectors.”
The patented device uses a scintillator heterostructure that combines high-stopping-power materials commonly used in PET scanners, such as L(Y)SO and BGO, with fast scintillators. The fast scintillators may use polymers loaded with fast-emitting dyes or nanocrystals, thin nanocrystal layers, or multiple-quantum-well structures.
The metascintillator block is read out in a monolithic or semi-monolithic arrangement, while the fast scintillator is segmented to reduce the number of photodetectors required. This configuration is intended to combine high photoelectric detection efficiency with precise three-dimensional localization, including depth-of-interaction information, good energy resolution, and improved timing resolution for time-of-flight PET.
Career Highlights
Lecoq’s listed professional affiliations include Multiwave Metacrystal S.A. and the Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas). These affiliations connect his work with research and development in detector technologies and scintillator materials.
Collaborations
His listed coworkers include Antonio Javier González Martínez and José Maria Benlloch Baviera. Their shared technical field includes research relevant to medical imaging and detector development.
Conclusion
Paul Lecoq’s patent describes a segmented metascintillator detector designed to bring together efficient gamma-ray capture, detailed interaction localization, and fast timing in PET imaging.
