Abstract
Planar Quadrant Shared Array PET detectors are highly dependent upon accurate timing to improve their coincidence efficiency. Techniques are described to determine the timing characteristics of the planar detectors used in the CPS HRRT PET tomograph, and to compensate for manufacturing tolerances.
