摘要
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are becoming the reference photodetectors in many fields. In medicine they are slowly replacing photomultiplier tubes and avalanche photodiodes in medical imaging and in PET in particular. In this paper a broad overview of the current applications of SiPM in medicine is presented. The major fields where the SiPMs are used, namely PET/MR and hadrontherapy are discussed at length.
