N2 - We have developed Time over Threshold (ToT) based Pr:LuAG-APD PET (TODPET) tomograph with a mixed signal front-end. The tomograph consists of 8 block detectors, each of which is composed of a 12 x 12 array of 2 x 2 x 10mm 3 Pr:LuAG crystals individually coupled with 12 x 12 UV-enhanced APD arrays. The APDs are individually read out with a custom-designed Time over Threshold ASIC and FPGA readout system. Developed PET tomograph has the energy resolution of 10% and the time resolution of 4.2ns. The 1.76mm spatial resolution (FWHM) is achieved for the first result.
