Multi-axially variable detection module of pet apparatus
Disclosed is a multi-axially variable detection module of a PET apparatus, the detection module including: a gantry having a through-hole extending from a side to an opposite side of the gantry; a detection module in which a plurality of detectors for detecting gamma rays emitted from a subject are arranged annularly along an inner circumference of the gantry; and a driving means for moving the plurality of detectors constituting the detection module in a radial direction of the detection module, wherein each of the plurality of detectors is rotatable in a longitudinal direction of the detection module to vary a length thereof in the longitudinal direction, and each of the plurality of detectors include multiple detector elements which are engaged with each other in a hinged manner in a transverse direction (circumferential direction) of the detection module to form a flat or an arc shape.
