This article describes the simulations of the scattering of annihilation γ quanta in a strip of a plastic scintillator. Such strips constitute the basic detection modules in a newly proposed positron emission tomography (PET), which utilizes plastic scintillators instead of inorganic crystals. An algorithm simulating the chain of Compton scatterings was elaborated and a series of simulations have been conducted for the scintillator strip with a cross-section of 5×19 mm. The results indicate that secondary interactions occur only in the case of about 8% of the events and only 25% of these events take place in the distance larger than 0.5 cm from the primary interaction. Also, the light signals produced at the primary and secondary interactions overlap with the delay, the distribution of which is characterized by a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of about 40 ps.

A method of the determination of a γ-quantum absorption point in a plastic scintillator block using a matrix of wavelength-shifting (WLS) strips is proposed. An application of this method for the improvement of position resolution in newly proposed positron emission tomography (PET) detectors based on plastic scintillators is presented. The method enables to reduce parallax errors in the reconstruction of images, which occurs in the presently used PET scanners.
