TWIST

TWIST: TOF PET with Strip SiPMs Using the breakthrough of the Strip Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SSiPM) obtained during the ERC TICAL project; TWIST will build a new type of detector modules for PET scanners that will offer high sensitivity together with precise position and time resolution. The objective of TWIST is to capitalise on this novel SSiPM development to deliver higher resolution PET images with a lower background and as a consequence use a much lower dosage of the injected radio-tracer. |
