---++++++ What's special about AX-PET ?

AX-PET is a novel PET detector based on long axially arranged crystals and orthogonal Wavelength shifter (WLS) strips, both individually readout by Geiger-mode Avalanche Photo Diodes (G-APD, also called SiPM). Its design was conceived to reduce the parallax error and simultaneously improve spatial resolution and sensitivity. A 'Demonstrator' has been built which consists of 2 detector modules (in total 96 LYSO crystals and 312 WLS strips). After extensive tests in the lab with Na-22 point sources, the Demonstrator was characterized with phantoms at the small animal PET lab at ETH Zurich [[http://zrw.web.psi.ch/][(link)]] and the company [[http://www.adacap.com/company_facilities.php?l=eng&a=00001][AAA]] in France. Recently, in spring 2012, we successfully demonstrated imaging with F-18 and FDG of mice and rats.
