contents In this work, we present modeling and imaging performance of a dual panel limited-angle TOF-PET system for intraoperative surgical applications using GATE monte carlo toolkit. Several detector parameters such as detector pixel dimensions, timing resolution and depth of interaction resolution along with tumor uptake ratio and phantom dimension are varied. Ultimately TOF-PET detector properties to achieve a specific imaging task are presented. To assess image resolution, we employed Simple Back Projection (SBP) reconstruction due to its fast speed compared to list-mode Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximization (MLEM). We evaluated the quality of the reconstructed images using metrics contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), contrast recovery coefficient (CRC), and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The purpose is to show effects of different detector parameters on the resolution of reconstructed images.
