Metascintillator systems composed of LYSO:Ce and MAPbBr3 perovskites were recently measured in the laboratory with high end electronics. The timing behavior of this metascintillator rendered two dominant subsets: 44% of fast, perovskite-led and shared events at 46 ps and 56% of slow, LYSO:Ce events at 110 ps. With such coincidence timing resolution (CTR), ultrafast ToF regimes are reached, and...

Accurate detector timing calibration is essential for time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET), as coincidence time resolution (CTR) determines localization accuracy along the line of response (LOR) and affects image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Conventional calibration methods such as time-skew and time-walk correction rely on low-dimensional parametric models applied at the...

Background and aims:
Digital PET systems based on silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) provide improved spatial and timing performance compared with analog photomultiplier tube (PMT) detectors. This study compares a digital GE Discovery MI (20 cm axial FOV, 4 rings) with an analog GE Discovery IQ (26 cm axial FOV, 5 rings) through standardized quality control tests [1].**Methods and...

Overview: We report on ongoing research and development of configurable multi-modal PET and SPECT imaging and dosimetry technology that shows great promise for range verification in proton therapy, imaging of injected radio-pharmaceuticals, or as high resolution insert cameras enhancing MRI. With a large solid angle geometry configuration, boosted by the depth of interaction (DoI) and time...
