High-resolution positron emission tomography (PET) relies on the accurate positioning of annihilation photons impinging the crystal array. However, conventional positioning algorithms in light-sharing PET detectors are often limited due to edge effects and/or the absence of additional information for identifying and correcting scattering within the crystal array (known as inter-crystal scattering). This study explores the feasibility of deep neural network (DNN) techniques for more precise event positioning in finely segmented and highly multiplexed PET detectors with light-sharing.
