Abstract
A PET device includes detectors including detector signal processing units and a data processing circuit configured to acquire a gamma ray generation position. The detector signal processing unit includes a Compton cone estimating unit configured to estimate incidence directions of gamma rays detected by a pair of detectors as a first and second Compton cones. The data processing unit includes: a coincidence acquiring unit; a scattering surface estimating unit; an intersection line determining unit; an intersection point determining unit; and a gamma ray generation position.
