Objective. High-resolution positron emission tomography (PET) relies on the accurate
positioning of annihilation photons impinging the crystal array. However, conventional …

In this study, we propose and examine a unique semimonolithic metascintillator (SMMS)
detector design, where slow scintillators (BGO or LYSO) are split into thin slabs and read by …

Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering medical imaging, mainly enhancing image
reconstruction. Nevertheless, improvements throughout the entire processing, from signal …

Background Preclinical research and organ‐dedicated applications use and require high
(spatial‐) resolution positron emission tomography (PET) detectors to visualize small …

The use of detectors based on semi-monolithic crystals can be of interest to clinical positron
emission tomography scanners due to their time of flight (TOF) and depth of interaction (DOI) …

Machine learning (ML) accelerators represent an attractive area of research, offering the
potential to streamline algorithmic complexity and handle massively parallel in-memory …

Background The renewed interest in BGO scintillators for TOF-PET is driven by the improved
Cherenkov photon detection with new blue-sensitive SiPMs. However, the slower …

Embedding signal processing in the front-end of radiation detectors represents an approach
to cope with the growing complexity of nuclear imaging scanners with increasing field of …

Objective. Monolithic crystal detectors are increasingly being applied in positron emission
tomography (PET) devices owing to their excellent depth-of-interaction (DOI) resolution …

Positron emission tomography (PET) detectors suffer from time-walk when the leading edge
discriminator is employed for timing pick-off as well as a timing-shift when thick crystals are …
