Use of transputers in a 3-D positron emission tomograph.
The use of a VME-bus-based transputer network as a parallel processing engine for positron volume imaging (PVI) is discussed. The authors find that the speedups of parallel networks depend on two major factors, the ratio of computation to communication for a task and the size of the task, and give a simple model to explore the limits on speedups. Through actual implementation it is shown that r...
متن کاملRapid aqueous [18F]-labeling of a bodipy dye for positron emission tomography/fluorescence dual modality imaging.
We report the rapid nucleophilic [(18)F]-radiolabeling of a bodipy dye in aqueous solutions. This radiolabeled dye, whose biodistribution and clearance has been studied in mice, is stable in vivo and can be used as a positron emission tomography/fluorescence dual modality imaging agent.
متن کاملNeural network-based calibration of positron emission tomograph detector modules
In this paper we describe a neural network-based method aimed at automatically calibrating the detector module contained in a scanner for a highresolution positron emission tomography (PET) system for small animals. The detector module is composed of crystal elements, arranged in a regular matrix and sensitive to gamma rays emitted by a radioactive source. The crystal matrix is optically couple...
متن کاملA spheroid positron emission tomograph for brain imaging: a feasibility study.
UNLABELLED It has been long recognized that the primary advantage of imaging the brain with a positron emission tomography using GSO scintillation detectors placed on a spheroid surface is the large solid angle of acceptance for annihilation radiation, which results in improved system sensitivity and image signal-to-noise ratio. In the present study, we investigated spheroid system geometry, de...
متن کاملUse of Dual-Modality Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Oncology
• Objective: To review the literature relating to imaging using positron emission tomography (PET) with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and computed tomography (CT) in oncology. • Methods: Search of the MEDLINE database through 30 June 2005. • Results: There were 22 peer-reviewed publications in which dual-modality FDG-PET/CT was compared with CT alone, PET alone, or other imaging techniques in a t...
