Abstract

A photoelectric converter includes a silicon photomultiplier array and a light guide coupled to the silicon photomultiplier array. The silicon photomultiplier array is generated by splicing i×j silicon photomultipliers on a horizontal plane, where both i and j are integers greater than or equal to 2. A detector includes a scintillation crystal, an electronic system, a light guide and a silicon photomultiplier. A scanning device includes a detection apparatus and a rack, the detection apparatus includes a detector, and the detector includes the photoelectric converter.
