EasyPET is a new concept of a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scannerusing an innovative acquisition method based on two rotation axes for themovement of detector pairs. Due to its simplicity, it is suitable for educationpurposes, to teach students about the PET technology and its basic concepts,from the radiation detecting and analogue pulse analysis to the coincidencesorting and image reconstruction. The concept allows achieving high and uniformposition resolution over the whole field of view (FoV), by eliminating parallaxerrors due to the depth of interaction (DoI), which are typical of ring-basedPET systems, so quality images are obtained even without state-of-the-art imagereconstruction algorithms. The technology developed at the University of Aveirowith a patent-pending, is licensed to CAEN S.p.A, and included in theeducational catalogue of the company. In this work, a simulation toolkit basedin the Edugate platform was developed to simulate the EasyPET system. It cansimulate all the physical aspects of the product, such us the scanning range,variable Field-of-View (FOV), scintillator energy resolution, coincidence timeand energy window, among others. A simple image reconstruction algorithm basedon Filtered-back-projection (FBP) is implemented. The toolkit allows a quickanalysis in classroom of the simulation results. The platform was also used tostudy the new EasyPET 3D version, and a simulation of a NEMA NU 4-2008 IQphantom was performed, demonstrating the capability of the platform not onlyfor education purposes but also for research.
