7. II. Detector Design and Measurements
Experimental setup
A LYSO slab detector (1.0 mm thick) and a 22Na point source (0.25 mm diameter) were mounted on a translation table. Experiments were performed in both singles and coincidence modes.
In singles mode, the whole array can be irradiated uniformly. In coincidence mode, a specific depth (2mm, 6mm 10mm 14mm and 18mm) is irradiated by using electronic collimation.

The SiPM readout circuit will be further simplified and improved to obtain a better timing resolution in the future.
The proposed DOI detector module can be used to build high performance whole body and total body PET scanners.
