Advantages and Disadvantages of the Lutetium-176 Intrinsic Radiation in the PET System
Lutetium (Lu) based scintillators such as LSO and LYSO, are widely used in PET detectors due to their high stopping power for 511 keV gamma rays, high light yield and short decay time. The abundance of Lu-176 is 2.6% in natural Lu, and the Lu-176 is a long-lived radioactive isotope with a beta decay...
