OBJECTIVE To characterize the performance of the Biograph mCT PET/CT TrueV scanner with time of flight (TOF) and point spread function (PSF) modeling. MATERIAL AND METHODS The PET/CT scanner combines a 64-slice CT and PET scanner that incorporates in the reconstruction the TOF and PSF information. PET operating characteristics were evaluated according to the standard NEMA NU 2-2007, expanding...

As one of Full Field Optical Measurement (FFOM) technologies, Smart 3-D Laser Scanner measurement technique enables to monitor the shape and dimension measured-objects in non-contact, remotely and globally. By taking its capability in capturing 3-D spatial information, 3-D Laser Scanner has been utilized effectively in numerous field application, such as, landscaping simulation during structura...

Breast imaging represents a relatively recent and promising field of application of quantitative diffusion-MRI techniques. In view of the importance of guaranteeing and assessing its reliability in clinical as well as research settings, the aim of this study was to specifically characterize how the main MR scanner system-related factors affect quantitative measurements in diffusion-MRI of the b...

UNLABELLED The recently released Biograph mMR is the first commercially available integrated whole-body PET/MR scanner. There are considerable advantages to integrating both modalities in a single scanner that enables truly simultaneous acquisition. However, there are also concerns about the possible degradation of both PET and MR performance in an integrated system. This paper evaluates the pe...

This paper presents a data set collected periodically on construction site. The aims to evaluate the performance of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms used by mobile scanners or autonomous robots. It includes ground-truth scans site using terrestrial laser scanner along with five sequences spatially registered time-synchronized images, lidar scans, inertial coming from our ...

Introduction Interventional CMR has been undergoing rapid development because of the availability of MR compatible interventional catheters, and the increased performance of the MR systems themselves. Much of this development has benefited from the previous groundbreaking work in MRI guided surgical technologies ; however, intravascular techniques do not carry the requirement for an open access...

An essential step in 2D DIGE-based analysis of differential proteome profiles is the accurate and sensitive digitalisation of 2D DIGE gels. The performance progress of commercially available charge-coupled device (CCD) camera-based systems combined with light emitting diodes (LED) opens up a new possibility for this type of digitalisation. Here, we assessed the performance of a CCD camera syste...
