Light Guides – High Flexibility & Transmission Efficiency for PET Imaging

Overview Light guides are essential optical components designed to efficiently transmit light between scintillation detectors and photodetectors, optimizing signal transfer in medical imaging systems. With high flexibility and exceptional light transmission efficiency, our light guides are engineered to enhance the performance of PET (Positron Emission Tomography) systems??including DOI-PET (Depth-of-Interaction PET), small animal PET, and brain-specific PET. Available in three premium materials (K9 glass, borosilicate glass, and acrylic) with customizable shapes, these light guides ensure minimal light loss, precise light distribution, and seamless integration into diverse detector configurations. Whether for preclinical research or clinical brain imaging, they deliver reliable optical performance…

Description

Key Advantages
High Flexibility
Adaptable to various detector geometries, including curved or compact designs (e.g., brain PET scanners with tight spatial constraints). This flexibility allows optimal alignment between scintillators and photodetectors, even in complex multi-channel systems.
Superior Light Transmission Efficiency
Engineered to minimize reflection and absorption losses, ensuring maximum photon transfer from scintillators to sensors. High (up to 97% for K9 glass) preserves weak signals, critical for low-dose imaging and high-resolution DOI-PET applications.
echnical Specifications cover three materials with their respective parameters: K9 Glass has a refractive index of 1.52, a light transmittance of 97% (for thickness <10 mm), and available custom shapes including straight cylinder, cone, and custom designs; Borosilicate Glass features a refractive index of 1.48, a light transmittance of 91% (for thickness <6.5 mm), with custom shapes such as straight cylinder, cone, and custom options; Acrylic boasts a refractive index of 1.49, a light transmittance of 92% (for thickness <8 mm), and offers custom shapes like straight cylinder, cone, and custom configurations.
