Abstract
A method and system for determining timing recovery information in a positron emission tomography (PET) system. One method includes determining energy information from pairs of light sensors of detectors of the TOF PET system, determining timing information from the pairs of light sensors of the detectors of the TOF PET system and calculating timing recovery information using the determined energy and timing information.
