Digital Signal Processing Techniques to Improve Time Resolution in Positron Emission Tomography

Coincidence time resolution is one of the most important issues in PET detectors. Improving this resolution is required to increase the noise equivalent count rate (NECR) that reduces the noise in the reconstructed images. The aim of this work is to evaluate the behavior and time resolution of diffe...
