ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for calibrating PET PMTs includes conducting a calibration procedure and determining whether a number of photons absorbed by a corresponding crystal exceeds a count threshold. If the threshold is exceeded the steps of conducting a calibration procedure and determining whether a number of photons absorbed by a corresponding crystal exceeds a count threshold would be repeated and if the threshold is not exceeded then the calibration procedure would be ended.
