520 |a We report the development of a high-sensitivity and high-resolution PET subsystem for a next-generation preclinical PET/EPR hybrid scanner for investigating and improving hypoxia imaging with PET. The PET subsystem consists of 14 detector modules (DM) installed within a cylindrical supporting frame whose outer and inner diameters are 115mm and 60mm, respectively. Each DM contains eight detector units (DU) in a row and each DU is made of a 12×12 array of 1×1×10mm3 LYSO crystals (with a 1.05mm pitch) coupled to a 4×4 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array that has a 3.2mm pitch (Hamamatsu multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC) array 14161-3050HS-04). The PET subsystem has a 104mm axial field-of-view (AFOV) that is sufficient for full-body mouse imaging, therefore enabling temporal and spatial correlation studies of tumor hypoxia between PET and EPR. It employs 1mm-width crystals to support sub-millimeter image resolution that is desired for mouse imaging. Al-though a DM contains 1,152 LYSO crystals, by use of a newly devised signal readout method only six outputs are produced. Recently a partial prototype of this subsystem consisting of four DMs is built. In this paper, we present performance measurement results obtained for the developed DMs and initial imaging results obtained by the prototype. The developed DMs show uniformly superior performance in identifying the hit crystal and detector unit, in energy resolution, and in coincidence time resolution. The images obtained for a 22Na point source and a 18F-filled U-shaped tube source show an image resolution of about 1.1mm and 1.2mm FWHM in the transverse and axial directions respectively, and demonstrate successful imaging over the entire 104mm AFOV of the prototype. This estimated image resolution however includes the contribution by the source size
