Micro insert: a prototype full-ring PET device for improving the image resolution of a small-animal PET scanner.
UNLABELLED A full-ring PET insert device should be able to enhance the image resolution of existing small-animal PET scanners. METHODS The device consists of 18 high-resolution PET detectors in a cylindric enclosure. Each detector contains a cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate array (12 x 12 crystals, 0.72 x 1.51 x 3.75 mm each) coupled to a position-sensitive photomultiplier tube via an o...
متن کاملStudy of the Compton scattering effect of soft tissue in PET imaging by Monte Carlo method
Introduction:In PET imaging, one or both of two annihilation photons may change the direction before reaching the detector due to Compton scattering interaction in body. .Methods:This article, a Monte Carlo simulation study, examined the effect of soft tissue on this error.In this work, the PET BiographTM 6 scanner, a simple geometry of soft tissue -including a sphere of soft tissue in center ...
متن کاملFirst results from a high-resolution small animal PET insert for PET/MRI imaging
University of Manitoba, Canada We have recently completed construction of a high resolution small animal PET insert designed for operation inside a Bruker 7T MRI. The PET insert is designed to achieve a 1 mm spatial resolution in the centre of its field of view (FOV) and fit within the 114 mm inner diameter of the Bruker BGA-12S gradient coil while accommodating the Bruker 35 mm volume RF coil ...
متن کاملExtracting the redox orbitals in Li battery materials with high-resolution x-ray compton scattering spectroscopy.
We present an incisive spectroscopic technique for directly probing redox orbitals based on bulk electron momentum density measurements via high-resolution x-ray Compton scattering. Application of our method to spinel Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}, a lithium ion battery cathode material, is discussed. The orbital involved in the lithium insertion and extraction process is shown to mainly be the oxygen 2p o...
متن کاملA feasibility study of a prototype PET insert device to convert a general-purpose animal PET scanner to higher resolution.
UNLABELLED We developed a prototype system to evaluate the feasibility of using a PET insert device to achieve higher resolution from a general-purpose animal PET scanner. METHODS The system consists of a high-resolution PET detector, a computer-controlled rotation stage, and a custom mounting plate. The detector consists of a cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate array (12 x 12 crystals, 0....
