Digital Identification of Fast Scintillators in Phoswich APD-Based Detectors

Significant progress has been made in the last 15 years to improve the spatial resolution of small animal PET scanners, mainly by reducing the size of detector pixels. Spatial resolution can be further improved by using phoswich scintillator assemblies, either to increase pixellization or to measure...
