Proton dose monitoring with PET: quantitative studies in Lucite.
The feasibility of using PET for proton dose monitoring is examined here in detail. First experimental studies in a Lucite phantom have been performed at the medical TRIUMF proton beamline for proton energies of 62 MeV and 110 MeV. The proton dose delivered to the phantom ranged from 16 Gy up to 317 Gy. The induced activity was analysed 20-40 min after the irradiation with a PET scanner. The ob...
متن کاملTherapy response assessment with quantitative PET: evaluation of a shortened acquisition protocol with dynamic PET/CT
Material and methods 13 patients with histopathologically proven oesophageal adenocarcinoma underwent a combined dynamic and static F-FDG PET/CT including CT tumour perfusion (Siemens, Biograph mCT). Dynamic PET (listmode) was acquired for 60 min resulting in 38 frames from 10 to 600 sec duration for the full dynamic dataset and 2 frames each with 600 sec duration (20-30 min and 50-60 min p.i.)...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT for measurement of lung inflammation
BACKGROUND An inflammatory reaction in the airways and lung parenchyma, comprised mainly of neutrophils and alveolar macrophages, is present in some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Thoracic fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been proposed as a promising imaging biomarker to assess this inflammation. We sought to introduce a fully quan...
متن کاملQuantitative blood flow measurement of skeletal muscle using oxygen-15-water and PET.
UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to evaluate quantitation of muscle blood flow using [15O]H2O and PET. METHODS The autoradiographic (ARG) and the steady-state methods using PET were used to measure femoral muscle blood flow. A simulation study was performed to examine the errors due to contamination of radioactivity in the blood content in muscle tissue, statistical noise and delay...
متن کاملQAV-PET: Quantitative Analysis and Visualization of PET images.
Open source software advances research and allows for more application specific tuning in a very feasible and efficient manner. Chief among the open source platforms is the MATLAB programming environment which is very commonly used in research settings especially in the field of medical imaging. Although many scientists use MATLAB for analysis, there remains a significant lack of open source so...
