Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are utilized to improve the timing performance of SiPM based PET detectors with light-sharing configuration. The universal readout design utilizes adaptive group readout to process noisy and slow signals generated by SiPM devices, and provides enhanced timing capabilities with simplified readout electronics.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to correcting misalignment of image data within an overlap region in acquired scan data. By way of example, systems and methods for applying a post-reconstruction interpolation are described to correct mis-registration of features within overlap regions in either sequentially acquired axial scans or single scan acquisitions.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for medical imaging systems. In one embodiment, a method comprises estimating an external scatter contamination in emission data based on an estimated emission activity originating from anatomies outside a field-of-view (FOV) of a scanner, the anatomies identified based on an image segmentation analysis performed on an image generated in the imaging system, the image generated prior to acquiring the emission data. In this way, a scatter correction applied to the emission data may include both scatter originating within the FOV and outside the FOV, and hence may be more accurate.

CPC classification number: G01T1/2018
Abstract: A SiPM readout circuit includes a front-end circuit having amplifiers coupled to SiPM analog outputs, pixel readout channels coupled to amplifiers provide a timing signal representing gamma ray photon detection in individual SiPM, a block timing channel that creates a summed signal from all SiPMs, and generates a block timing signal and a validation signal, an energy channel that generates a summed energy signal and a two-dimensional position of the gamma ray photon detection in the block, and a control logic/processing circuit that performs a time stamp estimation method. Methods of determining the radiation event timing and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-readable instructions to implement the methods are disclosed.
