The Temporal PET Camera: A New Concept With High Spatial and Timing Resolution for PET Imaging
This contribution proposes a new temporal PET camera concept yielding a precise spatio-temporal localization of a scintillation event within a monolithic scintillator. This concept is promising for PET imaging. The key idea behind this concept is the ability of the system to accurately localize the region of detected un-scattered photons on the Si-PMT detector plane. Then, by ray tracing, an ac...
متن کاملDesign of a very high-resolution small animal PET scanner using a silicon scatter detector insert.
A small animal positron emission tomography (PET) instrument using a high-resolution solid-state detector insert in a conventional PET system was investigated for its potential to achieve sub-millimeter spatial resolution for mouse imaging. Monte Carlo simulations were used to estimate the effect of detector configurations (thickness, length and radius) on sensitivity. From this initial study, ...
متن کاملDesign of a High-Resolution and High-Sensitivity Scintillation Crystal Array for PET With Nearly Complete Light Collection
Spatial resolution improvements in positron emission tomography (PET) can be achieved by developing detector arrays with finer resolution elements. To maintain high sensitivity and image quality, the challenge is to develop a finely pixellated scintillation crystal array with both high detection efficiency and high light collection. High detection efficiency means the crystals must be relativel...
متن کاملHigh-resolution PET detector design: modelling components of intrinsic spatial resolution.
The development of dedicated small animal PET (positron emission tomography) scanners has led to significantly higher spatial resolution and comparable sensitivity to clinical scanners. However, it is not clear whether we are approaching the fundamental limit of spatial resolution. This work aims to understand what is currently limiting spatial resolution during data formation and collection an...
متن کاملOnline detector response calculations for high-resolution PET image reconstruction.
Positron emission tomography systems are best described by a linear shift-varying model. However, image reconstruction often assumes simplified shift-invariant models to the detriment of image quality and quantitative accuracy. We investigated a shift-varying model of the geometrical system response based on an analytical formulation. The model was incorporated within a list-mode, fully 3D iter...
