Characterization of a time-of-flight PET scanner based on lanthanum bromide

A proto-type time-of-flight (TOF) 3D PET scanner based on lanthanum bromide detectors has been developed. The LaBr/sub 3/(5%Ce) Anger-logic detectors in this new scanner use 4/spl times/4/spl times/30 mm pixels and continuous light-guide coupled to a hexagonal array of 50-mm PMTs. The scanner consis...
