Liquid xenon is a very attractive medium for position-sensitive gamma-ray detectors for a very wide range of applications, namely, in medical radionuclide imaging. Recently, the authors have proposed a liquid xenon detector for positron emission tomography (PET). In this paper, some aspects of the performance of a liquid xenon PET detector prototype were studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation.
