Implementation of quadratic dose protocol for 18F-FDG whole-body PET imaging using a BGO-based PET/CT scanner, GE Discovery ST
Introduction: The ability of quadratic dose protocol to maintain a good quality image for an overweight and obese patient is well reported. However, a practical approach to the implementation of this protocol in whole-body imaging in Malaysia is currently lacking. Hence, the aim of this study is to derive the quadratic dose formula that suits our PET system. Metho...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Neck-Shield for Use During Neurological Studies with a Whole-Body PET Scanner
It is well known that the shielding against out-of-field scattered radiation is not very effective on whole body PET scanners operated with their slice-defining septa retracted. Additional shielding can be employed during neurological studies since the diameter of the head is much less than the field of view required for imaging the human torso. We have designed, built and tested (on the CTI HR...
متن کاملRapid Field-Cycling Relaxometric Imaging using Fast Spin-Echo
The quadrupole peaks arising due to immobile proteins in muscle are clearly visible (see arrows). Figure 1: Dispersion curves for a phantom of crosslinked BSA obtained using the FC-FSE sequence (solid dots) show good agreement with results from a commercial relaxometer (open circles).

متن کاملMolecular biomarkers in human pathologies from fast field- cycling MRI
Fast Field-Cycling (FFC) is an NMR technique that involves changing the main magnetic field during the pulse sequence, which provides an extra dimension to the experimenter. It is a rich technique that is well known to characterise molecular dynamics with various applications already demonstrated in polymer matrices, porous media, liquid crystals and many other systems [1]. However, much work r...
متن کاملUse of a clinical PET/CT scanner for whole body biodistribution of intranasal nanoparticles
Whole body biodistribution of 100 nanometer sized polymer micellar nanoparticles (NPs) was determined following intranasal administration using PET/CT imaging on a clinical scanner. Nanoparticles labeled with Zirconium 89 were administered intranasally or intravenously to Sprague Dawley rats followed by serial ex vivo PET/CT imaging in a clinical scanner. At 30 minutes and 1 hour following intr...
