  • Abstract
    We present measurements of a new high resolution PET scintillation detector. The detector is capable of recording the 3-D coordinates, energy, and arrival time of the individual photon interactions in the scintillation crystal. The incident radiation interacts edge-on with the crystal array. This new detection concept is very different than the standard block design. Measured energy, time and spatial resolution of the detector modules are reported.
