Abstract (EN): First experimental results of the imaging system Clear-PEM for positron emission mammography, under development within the framework of the Crystal Clear Collaboration at CERN, are presented. The quality control procedures of crystal pixels, APD arrays and assembled detector modules are described. The detector module performance was characterized in detail. Results on measurements of light yield, energy resolution, depth-of-interaction and inter-channel cross-talk are discussed. The status of the development of the front-end electronics and of the data acquisition boards is reported.
