Improving timing resolution of BGO for TOF-PET: a comparative analysis with and without deep learning

Abstract Background The renewed interest in BGO scintillators for TOF-PET is driven by the improved Cherenkov photon detection with new blue-sensitive SiPMs. However, the slower scintillation light from BGO causes significant time walk with leading edge discrimination (LED), which degrades the coinc...
