Enhancing the Cherenkov over scintillation ratio using dichroic filters in BGO and TlCl for TOF-PET

Abstract The Cherenkov emission in inorganic crystal scintillators has been shown to dramatically improve time resolution for time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) for in slow scintillators with a high refractive index such as bismuth germanium oxide (BGO). This is due to the faster...
