Performance Characteristics of CZT Detectors for PET Imaging Applications
Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive, in-vivo imaging technology that plays a critical role in cancer detection, as well as in molecular and cellular imaging. For PET imaging, Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detector emerges as a promising alternative to a scintillator and photomultiplier (PMT) detector assembly. In this work, we developed an analytical model to study electron transport, charge collection, signal formation and …
