Integrated High-Resolution Multi-Channel Time-to-Digital Converters (TDCs) for PET Imaging
, 2011 PET with time-of-flight (TOF) capability has been shown to provide a better reconstructed image compared to conventional positron tomography. The increase in SNR mainly depends on the size of the patient being imaged Conti (2009), the intrinsic resolution of the detector and the resolution of the TOF.

IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and SystemsIn recent years, Compute-in-memory (CiM) architectures have emerged as a promising solution for deep neural network (NN) accelerators. Multiply-accumulate (MAC) is considered a de facto unit operation in NNs. By leveraging the inherent parallel processing capabilities of CiM, NNs that require numerous MAC operations can be executed more efficiently ...
