AbstractAbstract
[en] Knowledge of detection efficiency and timing resolution is essential when comparing detector materials for time-of-flight positron tomography. We present results of Monte Carlo calculations of the detection efficiency of plastic, lead loaded plastic, NaI(T1), liquid xenon, bismuth germanate (BGO), CsF, BaF2, Ge, and HgI2 for 511 keV photons. We also use recently published values of timing resolution for these detector materials to tabulate the quantity (efficiency)2/(time resolution) which is a measure of the relative sensitivity for time of flight positron tomography
