Popis: When spatial resolution is based on single interaction events in a detector, millimeter level spatial resolution PET ma be achieved for a low energy positron emitter annihilation photons result in Compton interactions suggesting its use as a detector. We have studied the applicability of other materials with higher density and atomic number to this type of detector. Results derived through Monte-Carlo simulations indicate a wide range of useful materials and geometries. such as Y, F. In plastic detectors, essentially all
