A mechanical linkage system of PET and CT/MRI and a linkage scanning method thereof are disclosed. According to an example of the disclosure, the mechanical linkage system includes a PET host, a CT/MRI host, a scanning bed, and a moving system. The PET host includes a PET detector installed in a PET detector fixing plate and configured to form a positron emission computed tomography image. The CT/MRI host has a larger aperture than the PET detector. A front end of the PET host and a front end of the CT/MRI host are oppositely disposed. The scanning bed is located to an end of the CT/MRI host. The moving system is connected with at least one of the PET host or the CT/MRI host and configured to move the PET detector into or out of a scanning field of view of the CT/MRI host.

Mechanical linkage system of PET and CT/MRI and linkage scanning method thereof

Methods and devices for calibrating a gain of a scintillator detector are disclosed, where a scintillation crystal of the scintillator detector includes two or more energy regions. In an example, the scintillation crystal of the scintillator detector is adopted as a radiation source for calibrating. Electric signals outputted from a rear end of the scintillator detector are collected, and actual counts of the electric signals from each of at least two energy regions of the scintillation crystal at a specified position are obtained, respectively. Then, a gain of the scintillator detector may be adjusted according to the obtained actual counts of the electric signals from the at least two energy regions.

Calibrating gain of scintillator detector

A method of adjusting a gain of a detector is provided in the present disclosure. According to an example, whether a gain of a photomultiplier tube in the detector meets a gain determination condition may be determined, where the gain determination condition may indicate that an absolute of a difference between the gain of the photomultiplier tube and a target gain is within a predetermined numerical range. When the gain of the photomultiplier tube does not meet the gain determination condition, a voltage of the photomultiplier tube may be adjusted, such that the gain of the photomultiplier tube meets the gain determination condition.
