Feasibility and Initial Performance of Simultaneous SPECT-CT Imaging Using a Commercial Multi-Modality Preclinical Imaging System
Multi-modality imaging provides coregistered PET-CT and SPECT-CT images; however such multi-modality workflows usually consist of sequential scans from the individual imaging components for each modality. This typical workflow may result in long scan times limiting throughput of the imaging system. Conversely, acquiring multi-modality data simultaneously may improve correlation and registration...
متن کاملReal-Time Microfluidic Blood-Counting System for PET and SPECT Preclinical Pharmacokinetic Studies.
UNLABELLED Small-animal nuclear imaging modalities have become essential tools in the development process of new drugs, diagnostic procedures, and therapies. Quantification of metabolic or physiologic parameters is based on pharmacokinetic modeling of radiotracer biodistribution, which requires the blood input function in addition to tissue images. Such measurements are challenging in small ani...
متن کاملHybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT Imaging
1.1 Definition of nuclear medicine, molecular imaging and hybrid imaging Nuclear Medicine uses radioactive probes commonly referred to as tracers for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Monitoring the metabolic fate of nanomolar amounts of radiolabeled substances by tracking their photon emission with SPECT (Single Photon Emission Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) was the ...
متن کاملSPECT and PET Imaging of Meningiomas
Meningiomas arise from the meningothelial cells of the arachnoid membranes. They are the most common primary intracranial neoplasms and represent about 20% of all intracranial tumors. They are usually diagnosed after the third decade of life and they are more frequent in women than in men. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, meningiomas can be classified into grade I meni...
متن کاملSimultaneous PET and MR imaging.
We have developed a prototype PET detector which is compatible with a clinical MRI system to provide simultaneous PET and MR imaging. This single-slice PET system consists of 48 2 x 2 x 10 mm3 LSO crystals in a 38 mm diameter ring configuration that can be placed inside the receiver coil of the MRI system, coupled to three multi-channel photomultipliers housed outside the main magnetic field vi...
