摘要：

A high performance detector head with matrices of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) is under development at the University of Pisa. The detector head will be employed in the construction of a high spatial resolution, MR compatible small animal PET scanner. Silicon photomultipliers from FBK-irst (Trento, Italy) are being evaluated for this purpose. SiPM elements of 1 mm x 1 mm size and SiPM matrices composed of four (2x2) pixel elements have been tested. An intrinsic timing resolution of 60 ps sigma has been measured. The results with LSO crystals show an energy resolution of 20% FWHM at 511 keV, and a coincidence timing resolution of 600 ps rms. New devices with improved characteristics and active area, as well as SiPM matrices with 16 (4x4) SiPM elements have been produced, and will be evaluated.
