PURPOSE: We use neural networks to evaluate and compare the spatial resolution of two different simulated monolithic PET detector elements. The effects of mixing events with single photoeffect interactions and multiple Compton scatterings are also st...
. Monolithic scintillator crystals coupled to silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays are promising detectors for PET applications, offering spatial resolution around 1 mm and depth-of-interaction information. However, their timing resolution has alway...
We investigate the use of 3D convolutional neural networks for gamma arrival time estimation in monolithic scintillation detectors.The required data is obtained by Monte Carlo simulation in GATE v8.2, based on a 50 × 50 × 16 mmmonolithic LYSO crystal...
In this work, we explore deep learning based techniques using the information from mean detector response functions (MDRFs) as a new method to estimate gamma ray interaction location in monolithic scintillation crystal detectors. Compared with search...
Convolutional neural network (CNN) type artificial intelligences were trained to estimate the Cerenkov radiation present in the temporal response of a LINAC irradiated scintillator-fiber optic dosimeter. The CNN estimate of Cerenkov radiation is subt...

The irradiation of scintillator-fiber optic dosimeters by clinical LINACs results in the measurement of scintillation and Cerenkov radiation. In scintillator-fiber optic dosimetry, the scintillation and Cerenkov radiation responses are separated to d...
Although there have been impressive strides in detector development for time-of-flight positron emission tomography, most detectors still make use of simple signal processing methods to extract the time-of-flight information from the detector signals...
In this work, machine learning positioning algorithms are developed to improve the spatial resolutions of the semi-monolithic scintillator detectors in both monolithic () and depth of interaction () directions.Two long semi-monolithic scintillator de...
This paper focuses on the neutron spectrum measurement using a liquid scintillation detector, where the neutron spectrum could be identified and unfolded from the light output distribution of the EJ-301 liquid scintillation detector through a linear ...
