Methods and systems for calibrating a positron emission tomography (PET) system are provided. The method includes determining at least one non-acquisition time period for the PET system. The method further includes automatically acquiring calibration data during the at least one non-acquisition time period.

Method and system for calibrating a positron emission tomography system

Methods and systems for controlling a positron emission tomography (PET) system are provided. The method includes receiving timing information from a PET system during an imaging scan using the PET system. The method further includes processing the received timing information and timing bias information relating to the PET system to control the PET system.

Method and system for positron emission tomography image reconstruction

A detector includes a first position sensitive radiation detector having a first radiation sensitive area and a second radiation insensitive area. The detector further includes a first scintillator having a first decay time, located adjacent to the first radiation sensitive area and a second scintillator having a second decay time different than the first decay time, located adjacent to the second radiation insensitive area and being optically coupled to the first scintillator.
