This novel development, termed the continuous phoswich scintillator and detector, provides a number of bits of depth-of-interaction (DOI) information, a significant improvement over the 1 to 2 bits available previously with discrete phoswich scintillators.
The continuous phoswich scintillator and detector represents an innovative development that provides more DOI data points compared to the previous 1 to 2 bits offered by discrete phoswich scintillators, significantly improving performance.
