Multi-modality image reconstruction for dual-head small-animal PET
National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan The hybrid positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) or positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) has become routine practice in clinics. The applications of multi-modality imaging can also benefit research advances. Consequently, dedicated small-imaging system like dual-head smallanimal PET (DHAPET) that possess...
متن کاملNoise Analysis and Reconstruction of PET Image
This paper will deal mainly with the performance study and analysis statistical properties of the noise found in various PET images. The method is specifically designed for types of noise produced by acquisition and transmission sequence in PET images. Here signal fluctuations generally originate in the physical processes of imaging rather than in the tissue textures. Various types of noise (tr...
متن کاملMicro 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 کاملOnline detector response calculations for high-resolution PET image reconstruction.
Positron emission tomography systems are best described by a linear shift-varying model. However, image reconstruction often assumes simplified shift-invariant models to the detriment of image quality and quantitative accuracy. We investigated a shift-varying model of the geometrical system response based on an analytical formulation. The model was incorporated within a list-mode, fully 3D iter...
متن کاملDesign 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, ...
