摘要
This paper reports the characterization and comparison of different sensor configurations for monolithic scintillation crystals via the calculation of a figure of a merit based on statistical (Fischer) information. The optimal precision of maximum likelihood determinations of interaction positions, i.e. where annihilation photons are absorbed in a monolithic (LSO) crystal, is approximated throughout a crystal block via Fischer information (related to the width of the maximum likelihood distribution) evaluated at a grid of points. Realistic positions and thus realistic. distributions of points of interaction are estimated by applying a maximum likelihood algorim to Monte Carlo data. The algorithm was based on pattern recognition using a Monte Carlo generated lookup table and the least square method. The precision of this method is compared with the optimal (Cramer-Rao) limit for selected points.
