Estimation of crystal timing properties and efficiencies for the improvement of (joint) maximum-likelihood reconstructions in TOF-PET KU Leuven
With increasing improvements in the time of flight (TOF) resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) scanners, an accurate model of the TOF measurements is becoming increasingly important. This work considers two parameters of the TOF kernel; the relative positioning of the timing data-bins and the timing resolution along each line of response (LOR). Similar to an existing data-driven method, we assume that any shifts of data-bins along ...
