The imaging performance of clinical positron emission tomography (PET) systems has
evolved impressively during the last∼ 15 years. A main driver of these improvements has …

The integration of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has been an ongoing research topic for the last 20 years. This paper gives an …

Scintillators, materials that produce light pulses upon interaction with ionizing radiation, are
widely employed in radiation detectors. In advanced medical-imaging technologies, fast …

A detection system of the conventional PET tomograph is set-up to record data from
annihilation into two photons with energy of 511 keV, and it gives information on the density …

A recent entry into the rapidly evolving field of integrated PET/MR scanners is presented in
this paper: a whole body hybrid PET/MR system (SIGNA PET/MR, GE Healthcare) capable …

TOF PET is characterized by a better trade-off between contrast and noise in the image. This
property is enhanced in more challenging operating conditions, allowing for example shorter …

The enormous advances in the understanding of human anatomy, physiology and pathology
in recent decades have led to ever-improving methods of disease prevention, diagnosis and …

Historically, positron emission tomography (PET) systems have been based on scintillation
crystals coupled to photomultipliers tubes (PMTs). However, the limited quantum efficiency …

Abstract A Time of Flight Positron Emission Tomography scanner based on plastic
scintillators is being developed at the Jagiellonian University by the J-PET collaboration …

Recent tests of a single module of the Jagiellonian Positron Emission Tomography system (J-
PET) consisting of 30 cm long plastic scintillator strips have proven its applicability for the …
