Abstract
A helmet-type PET device includes a helmet portion (hemispherical detector) and an added portion (jaw portion detector, an ear portion detector, or a neck portion detector). The helmet portion includes a PET detector so as to cover a parietal region of an examination target. The added portion is positioned to dispose a PET detector at a part other than the parietal region of the examination target. PET measurement is performed using both an output from the PET detector at the helmet portion and an output from the PET detector at the added portion.
