Time Resolution for Scattered and Unscattered Coincidences in a TOF PET Scanner

Time resolution is a key parameter in the performance of a Time-of-Flight (TOF) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner, and it is usually measured in the system with unscattered data and used as the width of the TOF kernel in reconstruction. In fact, the time distribution of detected coincidence...
