摘要

Monolithic scintillator detectors, consisting of several cm3 of scintillating material coupled to one or more Hamamatsu S8550 avalanche photodiode (APD) arrays, are proposed as detectors for high resolution positron emission tomography (PET). In this work, the factors contributing to the variance on the signals are investigated, and their effects on the energy, time and spatial resolutions are ana...
