Evaluation of a clinical TOF-PET detector design that achieves ⩽100 ps coincidence time resolution

Commercially available clinical positron emission tomography (PET) detectors employ scintillation crystals that are long (20 mm length) and narrow (4-5 mm width) optically coupled on their narrow end to a photosensor. The aspect ratio of this traditional crystal rod configuration and 511 keV photon...
