MRC-SPECT: A sub-500 μm resolution MR-compatible SPECT system for simultaneous dual-modality study of small animals.
In this paper, we will report the development of an ultrahigh resolution MR-compatible SPECT system that can be operated inside a pre-existing clinical MR scanner for simultaneous dual-modality imaging of small animals. This system is constructed with 40 small-pixel CdTe detector modules assembled in a fully stationary ring SPECT geometry. We have experimentally demonstrated that this system is...
متن کاملMRC-SPECT-DF: an MR-Compatible SPECT system with Dual-FOV collimation design for microscopic SPECT imaging
University of Illinois, USA We will report the design and performance of a MR-compatible SPECT system that utilizes a dual-FOV aperture design for microscopic SPECT imaging of small animals inside an pre-existing MR scanner. The MRC-SPECT-DF system consists of a full ring of high resolution CdTe detectors and an aperture that consists of dual-FOV aperture system design that has two sets of aper...
متن کاملThe application of a compact MR - compatible SPECT system for small animal SPECT / MR imaging and tracer kinetics studies
BODY: Objectives : A new F-18 agent for PET myocardial perfusion imaging (BMS747158) has been shown to have excellent image quality in a Phase I clinical trial. In a subgroup of patients undergoing imaging with this agent in a Phase II clinical trial, we assessed if dual gated perfusion study is feasible and leads to improved image quality. We generated motion free perfusion images by combining...
متن کاملEvaluation of the performance of parallel-hole collimator for high resolution small animal SPECT: A Monte Carlo study
Introduction: Image quality and accuracy of in vivo activity quantification in SPECT are affected by collimator penetration and scatter components, especially in high energy imaging. These phenomena highly depend on the collimator characteristic and photon energy. The presence of penetrated and scattered photons from collimator in SPECT images degrades spatial resolution, contr...
