Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting a three-dimensional position of a scintillation event converting a radiation into a light. For example, a system includes a crystal array including a plurality of crystal elements, a light sensor array including a plurality of light sensors, a first crystal pair of the plurality of crystal pairs corresponds to a first light sensor pair of the plurality of light sensor pairs; a second crystal pair of the plurality of crystal pairs corresponds to a second light sensor pair of the plurality of light sensor pairs; and a third crystal pair of the plurality of crystal pairs corresponds to the first light sensor pair and the second light sensor pair such that a scintillation event in the third crystal pair is detected by both the first light sensor pair and the second light sensor pair.
