Abstract
We explore two depth of interaction (DOI) capable detectors with a high effective packing fraction to be used for the PET portion of a next generation cylindrical pendant breast PET/CT scanner. The proposed dual-readout detectors consist of an unpolished (14 14) array of LSO crystals coupled to a position sensitive-PMT (PSPMT) at the back end for position sensing and either (A) a (2 2) matrix of avalanche photodiodes (APDs) or (B) a single large...
