abstract	=	{Designing positron emission tomography (PET) scanners involves several significant challenges. These include the precise measurement of the time of arrival of signals, accurate integration of the pulse shape, maintaining low power consumption, and supporting the readout of thousands of channels. To address these challenges, researchers and engineers frequently develop application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which are custom-designed readout electronics optimized for specific tasks. As a result, a wide range of ASIC solutions has emerged in PET applications. However, there is currently no comprehensive or standardized comparison of these ASIC designs across the field.},
