A Fast Accuracy Crystal Identification Method Based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) Clustering Algorithm for MicroPET

A high resolution detector is being developed for our small animal position emission tomography (MicroPET). The detector unit consist of 8x8 crystal blocks, coupled to four photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). Each scintillation event is mapped in a two dimensional (2-D) position through the relative ratio...
