We are planning to develop a small animal PET scanner with a large solid angle, jPET-RD (for Rodents with DOI detectors). The jPET-RD is designed to achieve high sensitivity as well as high spatial resolution by the use of four-layer depth of interaction (DOI) information. Lu2(1-x)Y2xSiO5 (LYSO) is chosen as scintillator to get higher count rate and detection efficiency. In this paper, we evaluate energy, timing, and spatial resolution of a jPET-RD prototype detector., 52nd Annual Meeting}, title = {UNIFORM RESOLUTION PERFORMANCE OF THE FOUR-LAYER DOI DETECTOR FOR A RODENT PET SCANNER: jPET-RD}, year = {2005} }
