Purpose The implementation of photon‐counting detectors is widely expected to be the next
breakthrough in X‐ray computed tomography (CT) instrumentation. A small number of …

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 …

Improving sensitivity and spatial resolution in small animal positron emission tomography
imaging instrumentation constitutes one of the main goals of nuclear imaging research …

The spatial resolutions of preclinical positron emission tomography (PET) imagers are
largely determined by the size of the crystals. This study explores methods to construct PET …

There are drawbacks with using a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner design
employing the traditional arrangement of multiple detectors in an array format. Typically PET …

Abstract Background Photon counting detectors (PCDs) for x‐ray computed tomography
(CT) are the future of CT imaging. At present, semiconductor‐based PCDs such as cadmium …

The LabPET II is a new positron emission tomography technology platform designed to
achieve submillimetric spatial resolution imaging using fully pixelated avalanche …
