A novel photon detector, the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM), has been tested in view of a photosensitive device for Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which is one of the most important non-invasive methods for in-depth and in vivo imaging of tissue. Such a device offers advantages over existing on
The use of Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) as photon detectors in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) modules offers significant advantages over conventional light sensors, including application in a magnetic field, better resolution and easier operation. Different types of SiPMs have been tested:
