First results from a high-resolution small animal PET insert for PET/MRI imaging
University of Manitoba, Canada We have recently completed construction of a high resolution small animal PET insert designed for operation inside a Bruker 7T MRI. The PET insert is designed to achieve a 1 mm spatial resolution in the centre of its field of view (FOV) and fit within the 114 mm inner diameter of the Bruker BGA-12S gradient coil while accommodating the Bruker 35 mm volume RF coil ...
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, ...
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...
متن کاملVery High Resolution Small Animal PET
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a leading technique in medical diagnostic imaging. PET scanners are used to detect cancerous cells through the use of a positron emitting tracer that is ingested by the patient. The positron annihilates with an electron in the body producing a pair of 511keV gamma rays emitted in opposite directions. The gamma rays are sufficiently energetic to leave the pa...
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...
