摘要：
A Monte Carlo simulation code has been developed to predict new PET scanners' performances, such as sensitivity and scatter fraction, or obtain physics information such as deposited energy spectra. The code has been tested on a CTI PET prototype based on LSO panel detectors, and its results are in excellent agreement with experimental data: in particular a comparison of Noise Equivalent Count Rate curves is presented. Coupling the accurate physics embedded in Monte Carlo simulation and a scanner modeling allowed us to obtain a reliable tool for PET scanners' design.
