The MINDView brain PET detector, feasibility study based on SiPM arrays

Laboratory test results associated with the current MINDView PET module concept are presented in terms of key parameters׳ optimization, such as spatial and energy resolution, sensitivity and Depth of Interaction (DOI) capability. It was possible to resolve all pixel elements from the three scintillator layers with energy resolutions as good as 10%. The monolithic scintillator showed average detector resolutions varying from 3.5 mm in the entrance layer to better than 1.5 mm near the photosensor, with average energy resolutions of about 17%.
