An 8-channel Silicon Photomultiplier probe and a Time-to-Digital Converter are used to build a higher-throughput, cheaper and compact detection chain for time-resolved optical mammography as compared with conventional PhotoMultiplier Tubes and Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting boards, still providing comparable performance in the estimation of optical properties, but with higher optical responsivity.

Abstract

An 8-channel Silicon Photomultiplier probe and a Time-to-Digital Converter are used to build a higher-throughput, cheaper and compact detection chain for time-resolved optical mammography as compared with conventional PhotoMultiplier Tubes and Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting boards, still providing comparable performance in the estimation of optical properties, but with higher optical responsivity.
