The results showed that the detector based on the wo-ILG BGO array provided the best flood histogram. The energy, timing and DOI resolutions of the three detectors were similar. The energy resolutions full width at half maximum (FWHM value) based on the wo-ILG, wp-ILG and wf-ILG BGO arrays were 27.2 ± 3.9%, 28.7 ± 4.6%, and 29.5 ± 4.7%, respectively. The timing resolutions (FWHM value) were 4.7 ± 0.5 ns, 4.9 ± 0.5 ns, and 5.0 ± 0.6 ns, respectively. The DOI resolution (FWHM value) were 3.0 ± 0.2 mm, 2.9 ± 0.2 mm, and 3.0 ± 0.2 mm, respectively. Over all, the wo-ILG detector provided the best performance.
