## Abstract

In the present ongoing study, we are proposing a prototype model for positron emission tomography detection technology by introduction of a new discriminatory window parameter. It can be a new generation PET detection technique. We introduced Polarization Measurement of the annihilation photons(generated from the annihilation of positron and electron) as an additional parameter in proposed prototype, to correlate annihilation photons of a particular annihilation event. The motivation behind this introduction is Quantum Entanglement relation between the two annihilation photons. These two oppositely emitted photons are linearly polarized at right angle to each other. Simulations studies for this research work are undergoing and some preliminary results are presented here.
