Detection Principle

The core of the twilite system is a very compact measuring head machined from medical grade tungsten, which shields the LYSO crystals from outside radiation and is fully MR compatible.

TwilitwHead

The scintillations are conveyed to the photon detection unit via two flexible high efficiency light guides. This elegant design is without any electronics in the sensor head and thus avoids any potential problems of electromagnetic interference with other devices. Furthermore, this design is minimizing any potential risks for the use in human research experiments.
