It was developed and is being established at the Research Center in Jülich. The scanner employs LuYAP scintillators of 1.85×1.85×10 mm3 and digital SiPM arrays as photo detectors (DPC3200-22-44, Philips Digital Photon Counting) which are arranged in three stacked rings. The field of view measures 18 cm in diameter and 20 cm of axial height. The electronic hardware allows coincidence detection in realtime performed on a Kintex-7 FPGA (Xilinx). The system was introduced in 2014 [1] but at this time consisted of a single detector ring only. Now we will present results obtained from measurements with the complete scanner. [1] M.
