Use of transputers in a 3-D positron emission tomograph.
The use of a VME-bus-based transputer network as a parallel processing engine for positron volume imaging (PVI) is discussed. The authors find that the speedups of parallel networks depend on two major factors, the ratio of computation to communication for a task and the size of the task, and give a simple model to explore the limits on speedups. Through actual implementation it is shown that r...
متن کاملNeural network-based calibration of positron emission tomograph detector modules
In this paper we describe a neural network-based method aimed at automatically calibrating the detector module contained in a scanner for a highresolution positron emission tomography (PET) system for small animals. The detector module is composed of crystal elements, arranged in a regular matrix and sensitive to gamma rays emitted by a radioactive source. The crystal matrix is optically couple...
متن کاملA spheroid positron emission tomograph for brain imaging: a feasibility study.
UNLABELLED It has been long recognized that the primary advantage of imaging the brain with a positron emission tomography using GSO scintillation detectors placed on a spheroid surface is the large solid angle of acceptance for annihilation radiation, which results in improved system sensitivity and image signal-to-noise ratio. In the present study, we investigated spheroid system geometry, de...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography.
Neuroimaging techniques have had a dramatic impact on the evaluation and treatment of patients with epilepsy. In order to take full advantage of their potential, it is important to place them in clinical and electrophysiological context and to understand their technical limitations. Positron emission tomography with 18F-2-deoxyglucose and single photon emission computed tomography can provide v...
متن کاملAttenuation Correction Strategies for Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography and 4-Dimensional Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography.
This article discusses attenuation correction strategies in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and 4-dimensional PET/CT imaging. Average CT scan derived from averaging the high temporal resolution CT images is effective in improving the registration of the CT and the PET images and quantification of the PET data. It underscores list-mode data acquisition in 4-dimensional ...
