Abstract :
Large format detectors are traditionally used in several medical imaging domains, such as X-rays. Recently, new solid-state detectors have appeared in medical imaging domains, such as positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, used in large tiles of semiconductor chips. In this paper, we explore these emerging sensor tiles in terms of their impact in time-of-flight embodiments of these imaging modalities.
