High resolution detectors for whole-body PET scanners by using dual-ended readout

High resolution detectors for whole-body PET scanners by using dual-ended readout

Abstract Background Most current whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanners use detectors with high timing resolution to measure the time-of-flight of two 511 keV photons, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of PET images. However, almost all current whole-body PET scanners use detectors...
