Energy spectra due to the intrinsic radiation of LYSO/LSO scintillators for a wide range of crystal sizes

Purpose Most detectors in current positron emission tomography (PET) scanners and prototypes use lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) or lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) scintillators. The aim of this work is to provide a complete set of background energy spectra, due to the scintillator intrinsi...
