Loignon-Houle F, Kratochwil N, Toussaint M, Lowis C, Arino-Estrada G, Gonzalez A, et al.
EJNMMI Phys . 2025 Jan; 12(1):2. PMID: 39821728
Background: The renewed interest in BGO scintillators for TOF-PET is driven by the improved Cherenkov photon detection with new blue-sensitive SiPMs. However, the slower scintillation light from BGO causes significant...
