FIELD: PET.
SUBSTANCE: invention essentially relates to scintillation materials for use in positron emission tomography (PET). A positron emission tomography scintillator includes a garnet compound of the formula A3B2C3O12 and an activating ion composed of cerium. A3 is A2X. X consists of at least one lanthanide. A2 is selected from the group consisting of (i), (ii), (iii) and any combination thereof, wherein (i) consists of at least one lanthanide, (ii) consists of at least one element of group I selected from a group consisting of Na and K, and (iii) consists of at least one element of group II selected from the group consisting of Ca, Sr and Ba. B2 consists of Sn, Ti, Hf, Zr and any combination thereof. C3 consists of Al, Ga, Li and any combination of them. The garnet compound is doped with an activating ion.
EFFECT: increased efficiency of PET imaging system.
