Development of high-resolution detector module with depth of interaction identification for positron emission tomography
We have developed a Time-of-flight high resolution and commercially viable detector module for the application in small PET scanners. A new approach to depth of interaction (DOI) encoding with low complexity for a pixelated crystal array using a single side readout and 4-to-1 coupling between scintillators and photodetectors was investigated. In this method the DOI information is estimated usin...
متن کاملA Liquid Xenon Detector for Positron Emission Tomography
Here, we report on the present state of development of a liquid xenon detector composed by multiwire ionisation chambers, which has been developed for positron emission tomography (PET). It uses the fast scintillation signal for coincidence and subsequent trigger of the event processing. The charge signals induced on the wires are used for position determination along the radial and transaxial ...

متن کاملThe effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide. There are certain limitations to this technique such as normal tissue uptake. Therefore, it has been recommended that patients prepare before scanning. Fasting for a short while before PET imaging is an exampl...
متن کاملHigh-resolution positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging of the mouse heart.
Different animal models have been used to reproduce coronary heart disease, but in recent years mice have become the animals of choice, because of their short life cycle and the possibility of genetic manipulation. Various techniques are currently used for cardiovascular imaging in mice, including high-resolution ultrasound, X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear...
