Engineering and performance (NEMA and animal) of a lower-cost higher-resolution animal PET/CT scanner using photomultiplier-quadrant-sharing detectors.
UNLABELLED The dedicated murine PET (MuPET) scanner is a high-resolution, high-sensitivity, and low-cost preclinical PET camera designed and manufactured at our laboratory. In this article, we report its performance according to the NU 4-2008 standards of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). We also report the results of additional phantom and mouse studies. METHODS The M...
متن کاملNEMA NU-04-based performance characteristics of the LabPET-8™ small animal PET scanner.
The objective of this study is to characterize the performance of the preclinical avalanche photodiode (APD)-based LabPET-8™ subsystem of the fully integrated trimodality PET/SPECT/CT Triumph™ scanner using the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) NU 04-2008 protocol. The characterized performance parameters include the spatial resolution, sensitivity, scatter fraction, counts r...

متن کاملPerformance evaluation of a very high resolution small animal PET imager using silicon scatter detectors.
A very high resolution positron emission tomography (PET) scanner for small animal imaging based on the idea of inserting a ring of high-granularity solid-state detectors into a conventional PET scanner is under investigation. A particularly interesting configuration of this concept, which takes the form of a degenerate Compton camera, is shown capable of providing sub-millimeter resolution wit...
