The Mammi-PEM (Oncovision, Valencia, Spain), which is a true tomographic DbPET system, achieved CE certifica- tion in Europe in early 2011 and is commercially available. The Mammi-PEM (Fig. 6) comprises a ring of 12 detectors, each with 40 × 40 mm monolithic crystals of LYSO coupled to PSPMTs. In place of small individual crystals, this design opted for larger crystals to improve count sensitivity and re- lies on the PSPMT and Anger like electronics to calculate the location of the light pulse within each crystal.
