abstract = {The basic principles of positron emission tomography (PET)
systems have not changed since their conception in the
mid-1970s. Almost all PET scanners consist of an annular
arrangement of multiple scintillation detectors to build an
entire ring surrounding the object to be imaged. The
scintillation detector, which is the most essential building
block of most PET scanners, consists of two key components:
the scintillator and the photodetector. Dedicated data
acquisition electronics convert charges from the
scintillation detectors to digital signals, analyses them,
sorts, and then stores them for image reconstruction. This
chapter introduces the most important components and
building blocks of common PET systems and discusses their
performance, their limitations and their underlying physical
principles. Further relevant methods for obtaining spatial
and temporal information from scintillation detector signals
are also briefly discussed. The chapter concludes by
presenting the general concepts of typical PET system
designs, the most important PET performance parameters and
an overview of several representative existing systems.},
