abstract = {This work presents a new PET detector concept for compact
preclinical hybrid MR-PET. The detector concept is based on
Linearly-Graded SiPM produced with current FBK RGB-HD
technology. One 7.75 mm x 7.75 mm large sensor chip is
coupled with optical grease to a black coated 8 mm x 8 mm
large and 3 mm thick monolithic LYSO crystal. The readout is
obtained from four readout channels with the linear encoding
based on integrated resistors and the Center of Gravity
approach.To characterize the new detector concept, the
spatial and energy resolutions were measured. Therefore, the
measurement setup was prepared to radiate a collimated beam
to 25 different points perpendicular to the monolithic
scintillator crystal. Starting in the center point of the
crystal at 0 mm / 0 mm and sampling a grid with a pitch of
1.75 mm, all significant points of the detector were covered
by the collimator beam.The measured intrinsic spatial
resolution (FWHM) was 0.74 +/- 0.01 mm in x- and 0.69 +/-
0.01 mm in the y-direction at the center of the detector. At
the same point, the measured energy resolution (FWHM) was
13.01 +/- 0.05 $\%.$ The mean intrinsic spatial resolution
(FWHM) over the whole detector was 0.80 +/- 0.28 mm in x-
and 0.72 +/- 0.19 mm in y-direction. The energy resolution
(FWHM) of the detector was between 13 and 17.3 $\%$ with an
average energy resolution of 15.7 +/- 1.0 $\%.$ Due to the
reduced thickness, the sensitivity of this gamma detector is
low but still higher than pixelated designs with the same
thickness due to the monolithic crystals. Combining compact
design, high spatial resolution, and high sensitivity, the
detector concept is particularly suitable for applications
where the scanner bore size is limited and high resolution
is required — as is the case in small animal hybrid
MR-PET.},
