 note = {A large number of techniques are rapidly being developed for the diagnosis of cancer, including time-of-flight positron-emission tomography (TOF- PET). To construct an effective TOF-PET system, we introduced lutetium fine silicate (LFS) as a scintillator and a multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC) as a photosensor that exhibits a rapid response. In this study, we investigated four types of MPPCs with a sensitive area of 1 x 1 mm(2) sensitive area and different pitch sizes. All MPPCs showed a timing resolution of 72 ps at the full-width at half-maximum with operating voltages of dV similar to 3 V (with the exception of the 100-pixels MPPC)., Article, JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION. 8:P02018 (2013)},
