摘要：
A system and method is provided for determining depth of interaction (DOI) information. The system and method includes a detector configured to generate DOI information as a result of radiation emitted from a radiation source. The system and method further includes a plurality of scintillator pixels forming a block, wherein the plurality of scintillator pixels have a first portion and a second portion. A first medium distributed in an alternating pattern of coupling and separation between each of the scintillator pixels in a first portion or second portion of the block is also provided. A plurality of sensors for detecting scintillation events across the plurality of scintillators based on the alternating pattern of coupling and separation between each of the scintillator pixels, wherein DOI information is provided by a position profile of the block, and an image processor for generating a 3 dimensional image from the DOI information are also included.
