Objective. The goal of this work is to experimentally compare the 3D spatial and energy
resolution of a semi-monolithic detector suitable for total-body positron emission tomography …

Clinical and organ-dedicated PET systems typically require a high efficiency imposing the
use of thick scintillators, normally through crystal arrays. To provide depth of interaction …

A new small animal PET based on SiPM and monolithic LYSO crystals has been developed.
Eight detector modules form the PET ring, each mounting an array of 12× 12 SiPMs coupled …

Abstract The Multimodal Imaging of Neurological Disorders (MINDView) project aims to
develop a dedicated brain Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner with sufficient …

Background Significant interest has been recently shown for using monolithic scintillation
crystals in molecular imaging systems, such as positron emission tomography (PET) …

We investigate five different models to reconstruct the 3D γ-ray hit coordinates in five large
LaCl 3 (Ce) monolithic crystals optically coupled to pixelated silicon photomultipliers. These …

PET scanners based on monolithic pieces of scintillator can potentially produce superior
performance characteristics (high spatial resolution and detection sensitivity, for example) …

The main aim of this work is to provide a method to retrieve the intrinsic spatial resolution of
a gamma-ray detector block based on monolithic crystals within an assembled scanner. This …

Molecular imaging systems, such as positron emission tomography (PET), use detectors
providing energy and a 3-D interaction position of a gamma ray within a scintillation block …

Abstract The proposal of Mindview European Project concerns with the development of a
very high resolution and high efficiency brain dedicated PET scanner simultaneously …
