The AX-PET experiment: A demonstrator for an axial Positron Emission Tomograph
/ Bolle, E (Oslo U.) ; Casella, C (Zurich, ETH) ; Chesi, E (Ohio State U.) ; De Leo, R (INFN, Bari) ; Dissertori, G (Zurich, ETH) ; Fanti, V (INFN, Cagliari ; Cagliari U.) ; Gillam, J.E (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Heller, M (CERN) ; Joram, C (CERN) ; Lustermann, W (Zurich, ETH) et al.
AX-PET stands for a new geometrical concept for a high resolution and high sensitivity PET scanner, based on an axial arrangement of long scintillating crystals in the tomograph, for a parallax free PET detector. Two identical AX-PET modules - consisting of matrices of LYSO crystals interleaved with WLS strips - have been built. [...]

AX-PET: A novel PET concept with G-APD readout
/ Heller, M (CERN) ; Bolle, E (Oslo U.) ; Casella, C (Zurich, ETH) ; Chesi, E (Ohio State U., Columbus (main)) ; De Leo, R (INFN, Bari) ; Dissertori, G (Zurich, ETH) ; Fanti, V (Cagliari U. ; INFN, Cagliari) ; Gillam, J E (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Joram, C (CERN) ; Lustermann, W (Zurich, ETH) et al.
The AX-PET collaboration has developed a novel concept for high resolution PET imaging to overcome some of the performance limitations of classical PET cameras, in particular the compromise between spatial resolution and sensitivity introduced by the parallax error. The detector consists of an arrangement of long LYSO scintillating crystals axially oriented around the field of view together with arrays of wave length shifter strips orthogonal to the crystals.

Construction and tests of demonstrator modules for a 3-D axial PET system for brain or small animal imaging
/ Chesi, E (Ohio State U.) ; Nappi, E (INFN, Bari) ; Clinthorne, N (Michigan U.) ; Pauss, P (Zurich, ETH) ; Meddi, F (Rome U.) ; Beltrame, P (CERN) ; Kagan, H (Ohio State U.) ; Braem, A (CERN) ; Casella, C (Zurich, ETH) ; Djambazov, G (Zurich, ETH) et al.
The design and construction of a PET camera module with high sensitivity, full 3-D spatial reconstruction and very good energy resolution is presented. The basic principle consists of an axial arrangement of long scintillation crystals around the Field Of View (FOV), providing a measurement of the transverse coordinates of the interacting 511 keV gamma ray.

The AX-PET project : Demonstration of a high resolution axial 3D PET
/ Bolle, E (Oslo U.) ; Braem, A (CERN) ; Casella, C (Zurich, ETH) ; Chesi, E (Ohio State U.) ; Clinthorne, N (Michigan U.) ; Cochran, E (Ohio State U.) ; De Leo, R (INFN, Bari) ; Dissertori, G (Zurich, ETH) ; Djambazov, G (Zurich, ETH) ; Fanti, V (CERN) et al.
The AX-PET is a new geometrical concept for a high resolution 3D PET scanner, based on matrices of axially oriented LYSO crystals interleaved by stacks of WLS, both individually read out by G-APDs. A PET demonstrator, based on two detector modules used in coincidence, is currently under construction..
