The award funds research to develop TlCl crystal detectors for TOF-PET imaging, aiming to create a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to current detectors.
Description
This project evaluates the feasibility of using thallium chloride (TlCl) as a detector material for Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomography (TOF-PET). The goal is to develop a low-cost, high-performance detector with fast scintillation properties, high detection efficiency, and potential for widespread adoption in nuclear medicine imaging.
