Development and validation of a measurement-driven inter crystal scatter recovery algorithm with in-system calibration
Katrin Herweg, Volkmar Schulz, David Schug
In PET a high percentage of gamma photons being detected undergo Compton scattering in the scintillator. Scintillator blocks are often built from optically isolated crystals. Depen…
A Finely Segmented Semi-Monolithic Detector tailored for High Resolution PET
Yannick Kuhl, Florian Mueller, Stephan Naunheim +7
Preclinical research and organ-dedicated applications require high-resolution positron emission tomography (PET) detectors to visualize small structures and understand biological p…
Near-field coded-mask technique and its potential for proton therapy monitoring
Ronja Hetzel, Vitalii Urbanevych, Andreas Bolke +14
Objective. Prompt-gamma imaging encompasses several approaches for online monitoring of beam range or deposited dose distribution in proton therapy. We test one of the imaging tech…
Improving the Timing Resolution of Positron Emission Tomography Detectors Using Boosted Learning -- A Residual Physics Approach
Stephan Naunheim, Yannick Kuhl, David Schug +2
Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering medical imaging, mainly enhancing image reconstruction. Nevertheless, improvements throughout the entire processing, from signal detection…
Evaluation of semi-monolithic scintillators with integrated RF shielding material for a higher integration of PET/MRI systems
Emilia Laiyin Yin-Grossmann, Florian Mueller, Yannick Kuhl +4
The integration of PET into MRI to form a hybrid system requires often compromises for both subsystems. For example, the integration might come at the cost of a reduced PET detecto…
A Semi-Monolithic Detector providing intrinsic DOI-encoding and sub-200 ps CRT TOF-Capabilities for Clinical PET Applications
Florian Mueller, Stephan Naunheim, Yannick Kuhl +3
Current clinical PET systems utilize detectors where the scintillator typically contains single elements of 3 - 6 mm width and about 20 mm height. While providing good TOF performa…
