Title:
MODELLING OF TOF-DOI DETECTOR ARRAYS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/054300
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention is directed to several crystal arrangements for time-of-flight (ToF) positron emission tomography (PET) with depth of interaction (DOI) encoding for high spatial, energy and timing resolution. Additionally, several implementations of the ToF- DOI PET detector arrays are proposed with related measurements which all show that no timing degradation is visible in the used setup for first photon trigger for digital silicon photo multipliers (dSiPMs).
