Abstract
A method of correcting a timing signal that represents an arrival time of a photon at a positron emission tomography (PET) detector includes receiving a timing signal that represents an arrival time of a photon at a PET detector, receiving an energy signal indicative of an energy of the photon, calculating a timing correction using the energy signal, modifying the timing signal using the timing correction, and generating an image of an object using the modified timing signal. A system and non-transitory computer readable medium are also described herein.
