Study of Silicon Photomultipliers for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Application
A relatively new photodetector, the silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), is well suited for PET applications. It has similar sensitivity and gain to the industry standard photomultiplier tube (PMT), but has advantages such as smaller size and insensitivity to magnetic field. These properties make this detector an active area of research in the PET field. I will study a simplified setup, comprised of...
متن کاملA multi-channel digital silicon photomultiplier array for nuclear medical imaging systems based on PET-MRI
We present a 4 × 4 array of digital silicon photomultipliers (DSiPMs) capable of timestamping up to 48 photons per D-SiPM and we show the advantage of generating multiple timestamps in the context of positron emission tomography (PET). The D-SiPMs have a pitch of 800 μm and comprise 416 pixels each; the timing resolution achieved by the SiPMs is 179 ps FWHM, while each pixel has a fill factor o...
متن کاملTiming optimization utilizing order statistics and multichannel digital silicon photomultipliers.
We present an optimization technique utilizing order statistics with a multichannel digital silicon photomultiplier (MD-SiPM) for timing measurements. Accurate timing measurements are required by 3D rangefinding and time-of-flight positron emission tomography, to name a few applications. We have demonstrated the ability of the MD-SiPM to detect multiple photons, and we verified the advantage of...
متن کاملPhoto-Detectors for Time of Flight Positron Emission Tomography (ToF-PET)
We present the most recent advances in photo-detector design employed in time of flight positron emission tomography (ToF-PET). PET is a molecular imaging modality that collects pairs of coincident (temporally correlated) annihilation photons emitted from the patient body. The annihilation photon detector typically comprises a scintillation crystal coupled to a fast photo-detector. ToF informat...
متن کاملChoosing a Suitable Framework for Flexible Simulation of a Picosecond TOF Device
In this paper, we examine the simulations of two different applications of a Picosecond time-of-flight (TOF) detector. The system uses Cherenkov light created in the window of the photomultiplier tube (PMT) as the detecting medium. We examine the possibilities of using GEANT4 [1], and of using the simulation package called Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE) [2]. With some simple...
