Design 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 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 کاملPET performance evaluation of a preclinical digital PET/MRI insert
Department of Physics of Molecular Imaging Systems, Institute for Experimental Molecular Imaging, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany In recent years, several groups have presented combined PET/MRI devices for clinical and preclinical research. Using new technologies like SiPMs, the performance of the systems improved over the years allowing a detailed exploration of the relatively new fiel...
متن کاملToF performance evaluation of a PET insert with Digital Silicon Photomultiplier technology during MR operation
Department of Physics of Molecular Imaging Systems, Institute for Experimental Molecular Imaging, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany 2012, our group presented the Hyperion IID platform which uses PDPC’s digitial SiPMs (DPC). In this work we use the same platform equipped with scintillator dimensions closer to a clinical application. This allows an investigation of the time of flight (ToF) ...
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...
