Abstract

We have made a comparison between experimentally determined light output from various size LSO crystals and the Monte Carlo simulations using the program Opticad. The results show good agreement between the predicted results and the experimental measurements. These results show that it is possible to accurately simulate the light output using these calculations. This allows testing of many parameters quickly and the determination of the critical parameters in maximizing the light output and photoelectron yield from these detector modules.
