Evaluation of geometric sensitivity for hybrid PET.
UNLABELLED Hybrid PET systems have spatially varying sensitivity profiles. These profiles are dependent on imaging parameters, namely, number of heads, head configuration, spacing between gantry stops, radius of rotation (RoR), and coincident head acceptance angle. METHODS Sensitivity profiles were calculated across a 500-mm field of view (FoV) for a representative set of existing and theoret...
متن کاملSimultaneous PET/MRI with 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (hyperPET): phantom-based evaluation of PET quantification
BACKGROUND Integrated PET/MRI with hyperpolarized (13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ((13)C-MRSI) offers simultaneous, dual-modality metabolic imaging. A prerequisite for the use of simultaneous imaging is the absence of interference between the two modalities. This has been documented for a clinical whole-body system using simultaneous (1)H-MRI and PET but never for (13)C-MRSI and ...
متن کاملMyocardial Defect Detection Using PET-CT: Phantom Studies
It is expected that both noise and activity distribution can have impact on the detectability of a myocardial defect in a cardiac PET study. In this work, we performed phantom studies to investigate the detectability of a defect in the myocardium for different noise levels and activity distributions. We evaluated the performance of three reconstruction schemes: Filtered Back-Projection (FBP), O...
متن کاملA 2D Positioning Application in PET Using ANNs
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a radiotracer imaging technique based on the administration (typically by injection) of compounds labelled with positron emitting radionuclides to a patient under study. When the radio-isotope decays, it emits a positron, which travels a short distance before annihilating with an electron. This annihilation produces two high-energy (511 keV) gamma photons p...
متن کاملDesign Evaluation of A-PET: A High Sensitivity Animal PET Camera
In recent years it has been shown that PET is capable of obtaining in vivo metabolic images of small animals. These serve as models to study the development and progress of diseases within humans. Imaging small animals requires not only image resolution better than 2 mm, but also high sensitivity in order to image ligands with low specific activity or radiochemical yields. Toward achieving thes...
