History and Current Status of PET Devolopment based on Time of Flight

    Graphical Abstract
    • Abstract
  • The principle of time of flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET) and a brief review of the history of TOF-PET are introduced. The factors influencing the time resolution of a TOF-PET scanner are presented， especially focus on the intrinsic properties of scintillators and frontend electronics. Challenges and achievements of the structure of data organization and image reconstruction are reviewed. Finally， the benefits of TOF-PET on image quality improvement and tumor detection are emphasized.
