| 摘要 | A method and system for determining timing recovery information in a positron emission tomography (PET) system. One method includes determining energy information from pairs of light sensors of detectors of the TOF PET system, determining timing information from the pairs of light sensors of the detectors of the TOF PET system and calculating timing recovery information using the determined energy and timing information. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for determining timing recovery information in a Time-of-Flight (TOF) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system, said method comprising: determining energy information from pairs of light sensors of detectors of the TOF PET system, wherein the pairs of light sensors are at opposite sides of scintillator crystals of the detectors; determining timing information from the pairs of light sensors of the detectors of the TOF PET system; and calculating timing recovery information using the determined energy and timing information, wherein the energy information, the timing information, and the timing recovery information are devoid of simulation data. | ||
