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 …

There is always a balance to be struck when designing PET systems; overall performance
depends on spatial resolution, detection sensitivity, and timing performance, all of which are …

We propose a novel scintillation detector design for positron emission tomography (PET),
which has depth of interaction (DOI) capability and uses a single-ended readout scheme …

Purpose: The aim of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel technique for
fabrication of high spatial resolution CsI: Tl scintillation detectors for single photon emission …

Positron emission tomography (PET) detectors with the ability to encode depth-of-interaction
(DOI) information allow us to simultaneously improve the spatial resolution and sensitivity of …

The conventional front-end electronics for PET imaging consist of an energy circuit and a
timing circuit. A single channel in front-end electronics typically requires several amplifiers …

Purpose We present a novel gamma‐ray‐detector design based on total internal reflection
(TIR) of scintillation photons within a crystal that addresses many limitations of traditional …

We are using the laser induced optical barriers (LIOBs) technique to fabricate scintillator
detectors with combined performance characteristics of the two standard detector types …

We are exploring a scintillator-based PET detector with potential of high sensitivity, depth of
interaction (DOI) capability, and timing resolution, with single-side readout. Our design …

A tightly focused pulsed laser beam can locally modify the crystal structure inside the bulk of
a scintillator. The result is incorporation of so-called optical barriers with a refractive index …
