Positron emission tomography (PET) is used in the clinic and in vivo small animal research
to study molecular processes associated with diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and …

In this article, we describe recent developments in the design of both single-photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) instrumentation …

We describe a PET detector module that provides three levels of depth-of-interaction (DOI)
information. The detector is a 9/spl times/9 array of 2 mm/spl times/2 mm/spl times/12 mm …

We explore dual-ended read out of LSO arrays with two position sensitive avalanche
photodiodes (PSAPDs) as a high resolution, high efficiency depth-encoding detector for PET …

While most books contain some information on related sensors topics, they are limited in
their scope on biomedical sensors. Sensors in Biomedical Applications: Fundamentals …

Introduction Since their introduction in 2001, PET/CT systems have gained wide acceptance
primarily due to their inherent ability to combine functional and structural information about …

The measurement of depth of interaction (DOI) within detectors is necessary to improve
resolution uniformity across the FOV of small diameter PET scanners. DOI encoding by …

Detectors with depth-encoding allow a PET scanner to simultaneously achieve high
sensitivity and high spatial resolution. Methods: A prototype PET scanner, consisting of …

The design and evaluation of the imaging system Clear-PEM for positron emission
mammography, under development by the PEM Consortium within the framework of the …

Performance of a new high resolution PET detection concept is presented. In this new
concept, annihilation radiation enters the scintillator detectors edge-on. Each detector …
