Comparison of UV-enhanced SiPM technologies for estimating 511 keV photon arrival time using BGO Cherenkov Luminescence

Time-of-flight (TOF) is a method to boost reconstructed image signal-to-noise ratio in positron emission tomography (PET); the SNR gain increases as detector coincidence time resolution (CTR) improves. It is also desirable to control detector costs, especially when developing long axial field of vie...
