Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods using silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) based radiation detectors to detect radiation in an environment. An SiPM-based radiation detection system may include a number of detector assemblies, each including at least one scintillator providing light to a corresponding SiPM in response to ionizing radiation entering the scintillator. The radiation detection system may include a logic device and a number of other electronic modules to facilitate reporting, calibration, and other processes. The logic device may be adapted to process detection signals from the SiPMs to implement different types of radiation detection procedures. The logic device may also be adapted to use a communication module to report detected radiation to an indicator, a display, and/or a user interface.

Disclosed herein are methods and devices for the acquisition of positron emission (or PET) data in the presence of ionizing radiation that causes afterglow of PET detectors. In one variation, the method comprises adjusting a coincidence trigger threshold of the PET detectors during a therapy session. In one variation, the method comprises adjusting a gain factor used in positron emission data acquisition (e.g., a gain factor used to multiply and/or shift the output(s) of a PET detector(s)) during a therapy session. In some variations, a method for acquiring positron emission data during a radiation therapy session comprises suspending communication between the PET detectors and a signal processor of a controller for a predetermined period of time after a radiation pulse has been emitted by the linac.

A radiation spectrometer includes a scintillator, a photomultiplier, and one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The scintillator receives radiation from the environment and emits light that is indicative of an energy of the radiation. The photomultiplier receives the light and outputs an electrical signal that is in turn indicative of the energy of the radiation. Spectral data can be generated based upon the electrical signal, wherein the spectral data indicates a number of radiation events in each of several energy bins. The one or more LEDs can emit LED light through the scintillator and toward the photomultiplier, wherein the LED light causes an LED peak in the spectral data that can be used to identify an absolute energy of radiation events in the spectral data.
