Small animal research is an essential tool in studying both pharmaceutical biodistribution
and disease progression over time. Furthermore, through the rapid development of in vivo …

When principal component analysis (PCA) is used for statistical process monitoring it relies
on the assumption that data are time independent. However, industrial data will often exhibit …

The mouse model is widely used in a vast range of biomedical and preclinical studies.
Thanks to the ability to detect and quantify biological processes at the molecular level in …

To detect gamma rays with good spatial, timing and energy resolution while maintaining
high sensitivity we need accurate and efficient algorithms to estimate the first gamma …

The intrinsic spatial resolution of clinical positron emission tomography (PET) detectors is~ 3–
4 mm. A further improvement of the resolution using pixelated detectors will not only result in …

We propose a small-animal PET scanner design combining two sets of monolithic crystals
with two different thicknesses. The detectors with thinner crystals serve for high resolution …

Monolithic scintillator detectors can achieve excellent spatial resolution and coincidence
resolving time. However, their practical use for positron emission tomography (PET) and …

PET scanners based on monolithic pieces of scintillator can potentially produce superior
performance characteristics (high spatial resolution and detection sensitivity, for example) …

Purpose High‐sensitivity and high‐resolution depth‐encoding positron emission
tomography (PET) detectors are required to simultaneously improve the sensitivity and …

The main aim of this work is to provide a method to retrieve the intrinsic spatial resolution of
a gamma-ray detector block based on monolithic crystals within an assembled scanner. This …
