Neutron stimulated emission computed tomography using bismuth germanium oxide array

There are special demands of detector for neutron stimulated emission computed tomography (NSECT). To discuss the possible application in NSECT, the performance of traditional array detector was presented through simulation. A correction method of summing additional signals from adjacent crystals was proposed based on the spectrum of single bismuth germanium oxide (BGO). The spectrum with correction becomes much better than previous one, and the spatial resolution obtained is also be appropriate.
