Description
This study proposes a second-generation metascintillator to improve the coincidence time resolution of scintillators, critical for enhancing signal-to-noise ratio in time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET). Leveraging nanophotonic features, particularly the Purcell effect, we enhance scintillation properties. Our findings show a 1.6-fold improvement in coincidence time resolution, a significant advancement for TOF-PET applications.
