The status of the RPC-PET technology for small animals is briefly reviewed and its sensitivity performance for human PET studied through Monte-Carlo simulations. The cost-effectiveness of these detectors and their very good timing characteristics open the possibility to build affordable TOF-PET systems with very large fields of view. Simulations suggest that the sensitivity of such systems for human wholebody s...
