Summary: The status of the RPC-PET technology for small animals is briefly reviewed and its sensitivity performance for human PET studied through Monte-Carlo simulations. The cost-effectiveness of these detectors and their very good timing characteristics open the possibility to build affordable TOF-PET systems with very large fields of view. Simulations suggest that the sensitivity of such systems for human wholebody screening, under reasonable assumptions, may exceed the present crystal based PET technology by a factor up to 20.

O custo reduzido destes detectores e a sua boa precisão temporal abrem a possibilidade de construção de sistemas TOF-PET com campo de visão muito longo. As simulações sugerem que a sensibilidade destes sistemas para exames de corpo inteiro poderão, debaixo de hipóteses razoáveis, exceder por um factor 20 aquela dos sistemas PET actuais, baseados em cristais.UA Editora2007-01-01T00:00:00Zconference objectconference objectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/revdeti/article/view/17139oai:proa.ua.pt:article/17139Eletrónica e Telecomunicações; Vol 4 No 7 (2007); 793-795Eletrónica e Telecomunicações; vol. 4 n.º 7 (2007); 793-7952182-97721645-0493reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/revdeti/article/view/17139https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/revdeti/article/view/17139/12195Couceiro, M.Blanco, A.Ferreira, Nuno C.Marques, R.
