RPC February 2010 SPATIAL RESOLUTION OF HUMAN 3D RPC-PET SYSTEM M. Couceiro RPC-PET is a Falloff of HEP into Nuclear Medicine (Blanco et al. NIMA 2003) Advantages  Inexpensive  Suitable for large area detectors, covering a large solid angle  Increased system sensitivity (Couceiro et al. NIMA 2007, Crespo et al. MIC 2009)  Increased position accuracy, allowing full 3D detection, minimizing gross parallax errors;  Excellent timing resolution of 300 ps FWHM for 511 keV photon pair, allowing TOF-PET Disadvantages  Much smaller detection efficiency: 20% to 50%.  No energy resolution, although energy sensitivity.
