Hello Dr Paulien. Simple and easy-to-understand video. Thanks for making it!
I have two questions. I hear the term decay time, energy resolution and light output quite a lot.
Can you briefly explain the significance of having high light output from the material inside the PET system?
Also, what is the importance of energy resolution and decay time in PET?
