Track-based detector alignment for PET scanners
Department of Physics of Molecular Imaging Systems, Institute for Experimental Molecular Imaging, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany For sub-millimeter PET the precise spatial location of each line of response (LOR) is crucial. Physical misalignments of detector modules, if not properly accounted for, can significantly degrade the spatial resolution. In this work, we investigate the applic...
متن کاملThe HIP Algorithm for Track Based Alignment and its Application to the CMS Pixel Detector
Good geometrical alignment is essential to fully benefit from the excellent intrinsic resolution of the CMS silicon tracker. Since the tracker consists of about 20000 independent silicon sensors, of the order parameters are needed for the alignment. The determination of these constants with the required precision of about is an extremely challenging task. In this paper an effective and computat...
متن کاملAtlas-based attenuation correction for small animal PET/MRI scanners
Small animal PET/MRI scanners producing anatomically co-registered simultaneously-acquired images of morphology, function and metabolic activity have become available and are expected to have a huge positive impact on the pre-clinical imaging field. Attenuation correction (AC) necessary for accurate quantification of PET signals is challenging in these scanners because the measured anatomical m...
متن کاملUsing compressive sensing to recover images from PET scanners with partial detector rings.
PURPOSE Most positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanners consist of tightly packed discrete detector rings to improve scanner efficiency. The authors' aim was to use compressive sensing (CS) techniques in PET imaging to investigate the possibility of decreasing the number of detector elements per ring (introducing gaps) while maintaining image quality. METHODS A CS mode...
متن کاملA novel, SiPM-array-based, monolithic scintillator detector for PET.
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are of great interest to positron emission tomography (PET), as they enable new detector geometries, for e.g., depth-of-interaction (DOI) determination, are MR compatible, and offer faster response and higher gain than other solid-state photosensors such as avalanche photodiodes. Here we present a novel detector design with DOI correction, in which a position-se...
