The invention discloses a method and a 
system for 
synchronizing single 
event list data in 
positron emission 
tomography (PET). The method includes that at first, single 
event list data of each independent working detecting module is obtained, probability density of an 
occurrence time interval of a single event in each detecting module is calculated, and initial parameters are set; then iteration peak seeking and classification time window peak seeking are used for determining initial detecting 
time difference values of all detecting modules; and finally the difference values are used for conducting synchronous correction and fitting screening on single 
event data in each detecting module. The invention further discloses a 
system for 
synchronizing the single 
event list data in the PET. The 
system comprises a data obtaining and 
frequency difference compensation module, an initial parameter setting module, a rough time scale fitting module, a fine time scale fitting module and a 
data synchronization correction and fitting screening module. The method and the system for 
synchronizing the single event 
list data in the PET can finish synchronization of the single event 
list data effectively and accurately, simultaneously complexity of 
system hardware design is greatly simplified, and flexibility, expansibility and adaptability of the system are improved.
