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 کاملImproved dead-time correction for PET scanners: application to small-animal PET.
Pile-up and dead-time are two main causes of nonlinearity in the response of a PET scanner as a function of activity in the field of view (FOV). For a given scanner and acquisition system, pile-up effects depend on the material and size of the object being imaged and on the distribution of activity inside and outside the FOV, because these factors change the singles-to-coincidences ratio (SCR)....
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 کاملAn Improved Analytical Superscalar Microprocessor Memory Model
As the number of transistors that can be integrated onto a single chip continues to increase exponentially, a growing challenge is modeling performance with reasonable accuracy in the early stages of processor design. While methodologies for execution driven simulations are well understood, comparatively little is known about how to develop accurate analytical models. Processor architects in in...
متن کاملAn Improved Analytical Model for IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function under Finite Load
In this paper, an improved analytical model for IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) under finite load is proposed by closely following the specifications given in IEEE 802.11 standard. The model is investigated in terms of channel throughput under perfect and slow Rayleigh fading channels. It is shown that the proposed model gives better insight into the operation of DCF.
