The imaging performance of a LaBr3-based PET scanner.
A prototype time-of-flight (TOF) PET scanner based on cerium-doped lanthanum bromide [LaBr(3) (5% Ce)] has been developed. LaBr(3) has a high light output, excellent energy resolution and fast timing properties that have been predicted to lead to good image quality. Intrinsic performance measurements of spatial resolution, sensitivity and scatter fraction demonstrate good conventional PET perfo...
متن کاملImplementation of quadratic dose protocol for 18F-FDG whole-body PET imaging using a BGO-based PET/CT scanner, GE Discovery ST
Introduction: The ability of quadratic dose protocol to maintain a good quality image for an overweight and obese patient is well reported. However, a practical approach to the implementation of this protocol in whole-body imaging in Malaysia is currently lacking. Hence, the aim of this study is to derive the quadratic dose formula that suits our PET system. Metho...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of microPET: a high-resolution lutetium oxyorthosilicate PET scanner for animal imaging.
UNLABELLED A new dedicated PET scanner, microPET, was designed and developed at the University of California, Los Angeles, for imaging small laboratory animals. The goal was to provide a compact system with superior spatial resolution at a fraction of the cost of a clinical PET scanner. METHODS The system uses fiberoptic readout of individually cut lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) crystals to ...
متن کاملPerformance characteristics of a whole-body PET scanner.
METHODS This study characterizes the performance of a newly developed whole-body PET scanner (Advance, General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI). The scanner consists of 12,096 bismuth germinate crystals (4.0 mm transaxial by 8.1 mm axial by 30 mm radial) in 18 rings, giving 35 two-dimensional image planes through an axial field of view of 15.2 cm. The rings are separated by retractable ...
متن کاملDesign and performance evaluation of spheroid geometry for brain PET scanner using Monte Carlo modeling
Introduction: There has been a curiosity about the spheroid geometry for PET scanners developments since several years ago, therefore in this study, we are aiming to evaluate the performance of this geometry and compare its performance with cylindrical geometry using Monte Carlo simulation. Methods: We simulated a spheroid geometry with a radius of 199 mm...
