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 کاملUsing compressive sensing to recover images from PET scanners with partial detector rings.
PURPOSE Most positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanners consist of tightly packed discrete detector rings to improve scanner efficiency. The authors' aim was to use compressive sensing (CS) techniques in PET imaging to investigate the possibility of decreasing the number of detector elements per ring (introducing gaps) while maintaining image quality. METHODS A CS mode...
متن کاملThe Physics of PET/CT scanners
Positron emission tomography (PET) offers a number of unique advantages compared to other imaging modalities. PET measures the two annihilation photons that are produced back-to-back after positron emission from a radionuclide tagged tracer molecule, which is chosen to mark a specific function in the body on a biochemistry level (Fig. 1). Hence PET provides molecular imaging of biological funct...
متن کاملA Proposal for Laser Scanners Sub-pixel Accuracy Peak Detector
The demand for faster and more accurate three-dimensional digitisers is increasing dramatically in on-line production areas, while the more traditional application fields (i.e. inverse engineering or rapid prototyping) are increasingly incorporating noncontact scanners as their accuracy grows. Recently, the authors have published a short review on three dimensional laser scanners (Forest & Salv...
متن کاملComparison of 6 PET scanners, a simulation study [Persian]
Introduction: Due to the large number of PET systems available in the market, it is not very easy to decide about the scanner of choice. Conducting a research in order to compare all different PET scanners is very time consuming and expensive and practically impossible. However, such comparison may be conducted using PET simulators. In this study, the performance of 6 different PET scanne...
