Keywords: | Gaseous detectors | Issue Date: | 2003 | Citation: | Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment. 508:1-2 (2003) 88-93 | Abstract: | In this study, we address the feasibility and main properties of a positron emission tomograph (PET) based on RPCs. The concept, making use of the converter-plate principle, takes advantage of the intrinsic layered structure of RPCs and its simple and economic construction. The extremely good time and position resolutions of RPCs also allow the TOF-PET imaging technique to be considered. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4469 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0168-9002(03)01283-X | Rights: | openAccess |
