| Abstract | Fusion of functional PET or SPECT images and anatomical X-ray CT images would ideally be performed using data recorded concurrently with the same detection system under all three modalities to avoid inaccurate co-registration due to patient movements and normal physiological processes like respiratory motion. One possible approach to achieve this goal is to use an avalanche photodiode (APD) based scintillation detection system. Requirements on scintillators for such an application are high density and high timing resolution for PET, good energy resolution for SPECT, large light output and fast scintillation decay time for counting mode X-ray CT. The purpose of this work is to investigate new Lu1.8Gd0.2SiO5:Ce (LGSO) scintillators with improved performance developed purposely for PET applications, but having suitable characteristics for SPECT and CT detection. LGSO with 90% Lu content has high density (7.3 g/cc), large light output (90-120% of Nal), good energy resolution (~10 - 12% @ 511 keV), and fast decay time that can be adjusted from 34 to 45 ns by varying Ce concentration. In this work, LGSO with 0.025, 0.15 and 0.75 mol% Ce was assessed with APD readout for PET/SPECT/CT applications by measuring energy spectra at 511 keV (PET), 140 keV (SPECT) and 60 keV (CT), and timing resolution in reference to a fast plastic scintillator. LGSO-APD detectors can be considered as promising candidates for combined multimodality imaging scanners. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
