Liquid Xenon is a very promising technology for the new generation of Positron Emission Tomography detectors. The performance achieved by combining both scintillation light and ionization charge readout significantly exceeds the capabilities of conventional crystal based detectors. In these proceedings, we show that we achieved a 9.6% (full width half maximum) for 511keV photons by combining light and charge. Then, we investigate the performance of a liquid Xenon micro-PET detector by running simulations and relying on a Compton reconstruction algorithm. The image quality is far superior to the existing FOCUS 120 micro-PET.
