The challenge to reach 10 ps coincidence time resolution (CTR) in time-of-flight positron
emission tomography (TOF-PET) is triggering major efforts worldwide, but timing …

In this study, we investigated the performance of two cuboid scintillation detectors: thallium-
activated cesium iodide [CsI (Tl)] and cerium-doped lutetium yttrium orthosilicate [LYSO …

In positron emission tomography (PET), long crystals (20 mm) are used to enhance
detection efficiency and increase scanner sensitivity. However, for fast time-of-flight (TOF) …

It is hypothesized that L-arginine (ARG) can improve etoposide (VP-16) water solubility
while preserving its anticancer activity. Factorial design is used to identify conditions for …

The 3M-ESR multilayer polymer film is a widely used reflector in scintillation detector arrays.
As specified in the datasheet and confirmed experimentally by measurements in air, it is …

The refractive index of the scintillation crystal is a key parameter in the design of Positron
Emission Tomography (PET) devices. However, existing methods to measure the refractive …

Abstract Depth-of-interaction (DOI) variability of annihilation photons is known to be a source
