A clinical gamma camera-based pinhole collimated system for high resolution small animal SPECT imaging.
The main objective of the present study was to upgrade a clinical gamma camera to obtain high resolution tomographic images of small animal organs. The system is based on a clinical gamma camera to which we have adapted a special-purpose pinhole collimator and a device for positioning and rotating the target based on a computer-controlled step motor. We developed a software tool to reconstruct ...
متن کاملNeural Imaging Using Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes
Introduction: This paper analyses the ability of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) for neural imaging. The current trend in the production of SPADs moves toward the minimumdark count rate (DCR) and maximum photon detection probability (PDP). Moreover, the jitter response which is the main measurement characteristic for the timing uncertainty is progressing. Methods: The neural imaging pro...
متن کاملA High Sensitivity Multi-Spectral Three-Dimensional Fluorescence Optical Tomography System for Small Animal Imaging
We have designed a three dimensional (3D) fluorescence optical tomography system for small animal imaging based on an innovative system geometry that uses a truncated conical mirror which permits the entire surface of the animal to be viewed simultaneously by a single CCD camera. Compared with traditional approaches that employ a flat mirror, the conical mirror system has approximately 3 times ...
متن کاملDesign of Small Animal Computed Tomography Imaging for in vitro and in vivo Studies
Introduction: Mini Computed Tomography (mini-CT) was suggested in biomedical research to investigate tissues and small animals. We present designed and built a mini x-ray computed tomography (mini-CT) for small animals as well as industrial component imaging. Materials and Methods: The system used in this study includes a X-ray tube 20kV to 160kV and a flat pa...
متن کاملUltra-high-resolution small- animal SPECT imaging
Today the majority of clinical molecular imaging procedures are carried out with single photon emitters and gamma cameras, in planar mode and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) mode. Thanks to the development of advanced multi-pinhole collimation technologies, SPECT imaging of small experimental animals is rapidly gaining in popularity. Whereas resolutions in routine clinical SP...
