For the education of students a lab course on positron emission tomography (PET) is currently build. Students get a view into the physics of PET, detector concepts, electronics, signal processing, software, and reconstruction algorhithms resulting in a reconstructed image of Na-22 sources with different shapes. The lab aims on students of physics and medicine. We use a former small animal detector prototype with LSO (lutetium-oxyorthosylicate) as scintillator and a single channel readout with 96 APDs (avalanche photodiodes). Data aquisition and signal processing is done by a sampling ADC system; data processing and image reconstruction via ROOT. We will present the status of the project.
