Multimodality molecular imaging with combined optical and SPECT/PET modalities.
Today's medical imaging technologies are expected to furnish anatomic, physiologic, molecular, and genomic information for accurate disease diagnosis, prediction of treatment response, and development of highly specific and sensitive drugs and imaging agents. However, none of the current imaging methods used in humans provides comprehensive medical imaging. To harness the strengths of different...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملReproducibility of Quantitative Brain Imaging Using a PET-Only and a Combined PET/MR System
The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of migrating a quantitative brain imaging protocol from a positron emission tomography (PET)-only system to an integrated PET/MR system. Potential differences in both absolute radiotracer concentration as well as in the derived kinetic parameters as a function of PET system choice have been investigated. Five healthy volunteers underwent dyn...
متن کاملCombined 1H MRI, PET and Multinuclear MRS hybrid imaging system
Center for Advanced Imaging, Department of Radiology, West Virginia University, 1 Medical Center Drive, Morgantown, WV 26506, USA In this abstract we describe a novel method of combining three imaging modalities: H Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and multinuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in one system dedicated for true molecular imaging. The a...
متن کاملThe Temporal PET Camera: A New Concept With High Spatial and Timing Resolution for PET Imaging
This contribution proposes a new temporal PET camera concept yielding a precise spatio-temporal localization of a scintillation event within a monolithic scintillator. This concept is promising for PET imaging. The key idea behind this concept is the ability of the system to accurately localize the region of detected un-scattered photons on the Si-PMT detector plane. Then, by ray tracing, an ac...
