LuAP(Ce) Scintillation Crystal

Cerium doped lutetium aluminium perovskite (Ce:LuAP) is material of interest in the scintillator community. These materials are attractive because of their high density (up to 8.34 g/cm3 for LuAP) and short scintillation decay time.

Application

1 ) Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)

2 ) Positron emission computed tomography (PET)

3 ) Gamma camera

Features

1 ) Fast decay time

2 ) High energy resolution

3 ) High light output
