We are happy to announce our first workshop on Electronics & Technologies for Positron Emission Tomography (PET), a forum for international research and academia to meet and exchange the latest developments in this field. The event is co-organized by Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS and Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH. The objective of this workshop is to define the future demands on PET electronics and data analysis and to discuss these demands with the experts on electronics, chip development, and data scientists.
