ABSTRACT:
This invention is a positron emission tomography (PET) device comprising as a scintillator a perovskite organic/inorganic hybrid compound selected from the group represented by the general formulae:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?(R1—NR113)2MX4or (R2—NR12)2MX4, (NR133—R3—NR133)MX4, or (NR142═R4═NR142)MX4, or AMX3.in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?When used as a scintillator, the perovskite organic/inorganic hybrid compound emits visible light with a very fast (subnanosecond order) response, allowing for improved resolution and time-of-flight PET methods.
