Schaart, D.R. (author), Seifert, S. (author), Vinke, R. (author), Van Dam, H.T. (author), Dendooven, P. (author), Löhner, H. (author), Beekman, F.J. (author)The use of time-of-flight (TOF) information in positron emission tomography (PET) enables significant improvement in image noise properties and, therefore, lesion detection. Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are solid-state photosensors that have several advantages over photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). SiPMs are small, essentially transparent to 511...journal article 2010

Maas, M.C. (author), Schaart, D.C. (author), Van der Laan, D.J. (author), Bruyndonckx, P. (author), Lemaître, C. (author), Beekman, F.J. (author), Van Eijk, C.W.E. (author)We developed positron emission tomography (PET) detectors based on monolithic scintillation crystals and position-sensitive light sensors. Intrinsic depth-of-interaction (DOI) correction is achieved by deriving the entry points of annihilation photons on the front surface of the crystal from the light sensor signals. Here we characterize the...journal article 2009
