Simulated performance of a high resolution PET detector module with depth of interaction information [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This work focuses on the design of a high-resolution, Depth Of Interaction (DOI) capable PET detector module with a single-ended readout We propose the use of a several centimeters thick monolithic scintillator directly coupled to a 2D array of Silicon Photomultipliers High resolution of reconstructed energy and 3D position of gamma rays interacting with the detector is achieved through the implementation of advanced statistical reconstruction The proposed design and reconstruction algorithms have been validated using Geant4-based Monte Carlo simulations Based on these preliminary results, a small bore PET system using modules of the proposed design will have volumetric resolution of reconstructed images in the sub-millimeter range, energy resolution of  13% and sensitivity of up to 18% Prototype modules will be constructed and tested (author)
