ring detect pair of gama rays, thus detectors all around the ring would detect both photons, thus, localising the point of emission along that line between points where two photons were detected. Dude ik it's not 3 because positrons are not cheap. is it 1,3 and 4??
goal is to picture stuff in side body, the positoron would be injected to humans body, react with electron as it's more electron anti-particle annihilate both and emitting a pair of beta protons. Now using ring detector, it would be able to deterct protons, hence loacalising the emission. Image...
Homework Statement
Why does PET scanner use positron emitters?
1-positrons have more penetrating power than electrons
2-positron emitting isotopes are cheap and widely available
3-the location of emission can be located better because a pair of gamma rays get emitted from the body...
