The invention provides a method and device for acquiring a PET crystal position lookup table. The method includes the following steps that data of a detector containing an n*n crystal array are collected so as to acquire an extensive field image I1; the extensive field image I1 is smoothed so as to acquire an extensive field image I2; intensity consistency correction is conducted on the extensive field image I2 so as to acquire an extensive field image I3; true response peaks Pm of n*n crystals in the crystal array are extracted from the extensive field image I3; according to the arrangement sequence of the crystals, the true response peaks Pm are numbered so as to acquire true response peaks TP1 with crystal serial numbers; according to the true response peaks TP1 with the crystal serial numbers, pixels of the extensive field image I3 are numbered so as to acquire the crystal position lookup table. By the adoption of the method for acquiring the PET crystal position lookup table, the PET crystal position lookup table can be automatically generated, time and manpower for manually generating the crystal position lookup table are greatly reduced, the crystal position lookup table is convenient and quick to update, the scheme is high in robustness, and the speed and accuracy are high.
