Clinical feasibility of accelerated, high spatial resolution myocardial perfusion imaging.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the clinical feasibility and diagnostic performance of an acceleration technique based on k-space and time (k-t) sensitivity encoding (SENSE) for rapid, high-spatial resolution cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial perfusion imaging. BACKGROUND The assessment of myocardial perfusion is of crucial importance in the evaluation of patients wit...
متن کاملThe effect of focal spot size on the spatial resolution of variable resolution X-ray CT scanner
Background: A variable resolution X-ray (VRX) CT scanner provides a great increase in the spatial resolution. In VRX CT scanners, the spatial resolution of the system and its field of view (FOV) can be changed according to the object size. One of the main factors that limit the spatial resolution of VRX CT scanner is the effect of the X-ray focal spot. Materials and Methods: A theoreti...
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....
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of microPET: a high-resolution lutetium oxyorthosilicate PET scanner for animal imaging.
UNLABELLED A new dedicated PET scanner, microPET, was designed and developed at the University of California, Los Angeles, for imaging small laboratory animals. The goal was to provide a compact system with superior spatial resolution at a fraction of the cost of a clinical PET scanner. METHODS The system uses fiberoptic readout of individually cut lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) crystals to ...
متن کاملSpatial resolution and sensitivity of the Inveon small-animal PET scanner.
UNLABELLED The Inveon small-animal PET scanner is characterized by a large, 127-mm axial length and a 161-mm crystal ring diameter. The associated high sensitivity is obtained by using all lines of response (LORs) up to the maximum ring difference (MRD) of 79, for which the most oblique LORs form acceptance angles of 38.3 degrees with transaxial planes. The result is 2 phenomena that are normal...
