Development of TlBr detectors for PET imaging

Thallium bromide (TlBr) is a promising semiconductor detector material for positron emission tomography (PET) because it can offer very good energy resolution and 3D segmentation capabilities, and it also provides detection efficiency surpassing that of commonly used scintillators. Energy, timing, a...

Zusammenfassung:	Thallium bromide (TlBr) is a promising semiconductor detector material for positron emission tomography (PET) because it can offer very good energy resolution and 3D segmentation capabilities, and it also provides detection efficiency surpassing that of commonly used scintillators. Energy, timing, and spatial resolution were measured for thin (
