Preventive maintenance system for the photomultiplier detector blocks of pet scanners

The present invention relates to a system for the preventive maintenance of the Photomultiplier Detector Blocks of PET Scanners. This system is used to automatically indicate the expected date of failure of a photomultiplier detector block and provide time for its replacement and maintenance in a scheduled preventive maintenance program, thus eliminating expensive unscheduled downtime of a PET Scanner due to photomultiplier failure.
