Exploring Cherenkov emission of BGO for TOF-PET

Bismuth germanate (BGO) was the preferred crystal for PET scanners, but was substituted with the emergence of faster crystals. Improvements in Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) and the use of fast high frequency readout make it possible to use the prompt Cherenkov emission in BGO in order to boost th...
