Abstract:We describe new high-resolution depth-of-interaction (DOI) PET detector designs based on avalanche photodiodes (APDs). With the development of APDs which utilize thin drift regions to speed response time, these detectors promise improved timing performance relative to previously reported APD-based DOI detectors. The new designs also offer improved decoding of smaller crystals at room temperature through the use of a combination of position-sensitive APDs and pixellated APDs. The number of read-out channels for… Show more
