Background The limited axial field‐of‐view (FOV) of conventional clinical positron emission
tomography (PET) scanners (∼ 15 to 26 cm) allows detecting only 1% of all coincidence …

We propose and evaluate the performance of an improved preclinical positron emission
tomography (PET) scanner design, referred to as Polaroid-PET, consisting of a detector …

Detailed simulation of optical photon transport and detection in radiation detectors is often
used for crystal-based gamma detector optimization. However, the time and memory burden …

The purpose of this work is to develop a validated Geant4 simulation model of a whole-body
prototype PET scanner constructed from the four-layer depth-of-interaction detectors …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful medical imaging modality used in nuclear
medicine to diagnose and monitor various clinical diseases in patients. It is more sensitive …

The NEMA NU-2 standard describes a protocol for measurement of scatter fraction (SF)
using an axially-aligned line source, offset at 45 mm from the central axis, in a cylindrical …

Optical Monte Carlo simulations have been extensively used for the accurate modeling of
light transport in scintillators for the improvement of detector designs. In the present work, a …
