Project
Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance scanner
This project aims to design and develop the block detectors for a whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanning prototype with unique attributes and compatibility for simultaneous magnetic resonance (MR) acquisition. This project will use MR compatible detectors (SiPMs), which have superior abilities than current commercial PET scanners at a reduced size and reduced cost.
