Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a LuAG (lutetium aluminum garnet) sintered compact having sufficient properties as a scintillator to be used in a PET detector. SOLUTION: The raw materials are mixed wetly by using a ball mill using an alumina ball at a mixing step. Ethanol is used as a solvent in this case, for example. The mixing time can be 12-40 hours. When TEOS (tetraethylorthosilicate) is used particularly as a Si raw material, it is easy to mix TEOS uniformly with ethanol since TEOS is liquid at normal temperature. When the Si content is made larger, it can be recognized that the luminuous intensity is decreased and the resolution is also deteriorated gradually (becomes larger). Even when the Si content is
