A DOI design that uses stacks of crystals layered with wavelength shifting fibers that are used to determine crystal identification (Braem et al 2007b). Such designs require a large number of photodetectors, which has now become feasible with the recent developments in SiPMs and similar technologies. This approach has the same advantage as that of the system in figure 19 in terms of identifying events that scatter within the crystal array.
