30. Approaching Sub-100 ps CTR in TOF-PET Scanners with FastIC+

David Mazzanti Tarancon (Institute of Cosmos Science, University of Barcelona)

In recent years, several research groups have demonstrated the potential of time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) by achieving coincidence time resolutions (CTR) below 100 ps in the laboratory. These results, however, rely on small scintillator crystals -favoring timing performance at the expense of detection efficiency- and/or bulky, high-power readout electronics. A realistic...

58. Initial development of a modular FPGA-based DAQ for the PeTVISION ultrafast PET system

Dr Noriel Pavon Hernandez (Institute for Molecular Imaging Instrumentation (I3M))

11/05/2026, 17:30

The development of the data acquisition system (DAQ) is one of the key technological contributions of I3M within the PeTVISION project, a collaborative international effort involving FBK, ICCUB, IJS, ONCOVISION, Yale University, and MRI-TUM Klinikum rechts der Isar. Within this framework, I3M, with support from ONCOVISION, is responsible for the FPGA-based nuclear DAQ, including the design of...

66. Channel-Level Validation of a Calibrated FPGA TDC for Fast-Timing PET

Giancarlo Sportelli

11/05/2026, 17:50

We present a fast-timing-oriented digital readout architecture for TOF-PET detector modules based on the HRFlexToT front-end ASIC and a calibrated multi-channel FPGA Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC). Following the earlier UTOFPET detector developments, the firmware and timing back-end have been redesigned from scratch with specific emphasis on timing digitization robustness, channel-level...

19. TEMPOROC: A 64-channel SiPM read-out chip for time-of-flight measurement

Julien Fleury (Weeroc)

TEMPOROC3 is a 64-channel SiPM read-out chip designed in TSMC130 technology. The ASIC aims at measuring the energy with 10-bit ADC, time-of-arrival (TOA) and time-over-threshold (TOT) with 40 ps bin TDC. The analog front-end offers a dynamic range up to 500 pC. The dual discriminator allows either to measure two TOA at different thresholds and at either rising or falling edge. Measurements in...
