GATE Simulation of the Biograph 2 PET/CT Scanner

Validation and evaluation of a GATE model for MAMMI PET scanner

Introduction:MAMMI is a dedicated PET based on high resolution detectors placed close to the breast. In this study, we presented a GATE model for the simulation of MAMMI scanner and model its performance of the MAMMI based on an adaptation of the NU 4-2008 NEMA standard.  Methods:A detailed of geometry MAMMI system that uses scintillation crystals coupled...

The use of PETCT in Hodgkin’s lymphoma

Background Lymphoma is a haematological malignancy that affects both old and young. It is the most common indication for PETCT in the young adult. Lymphoma is the fifth commonest malignancy in the UK after breast, lung, colorectal and prostate cancer, accounting for 11,861 cancer cases in 2008 (4%). The current conventional treatments provide good cure rates, with overall 10-year survival rates...

Validation of a simultaneous PET/MR system model for PET simulation using GATE

LaTIM UMR 1101, Brest, France Simultaneous PET/MR acquisition shows promise in a range of applications. Simulation using GATE is an essential tool that allows obtaining the ground truth for such acquisitions and therefore helping in the development and the validation of innovative processing methods such as PET image reconstruction, attenuation correction and motion correction. The purpose of t...

Text Mining in Biograph

The Biograph project is a biomedical knowledge discovery project combining graph data mining with structured biomedical information and with text mining on medline abstracts. It is a cooperation between the molecular genetics, data mining, and computational linguistics research groups of the University of Antwerp. In this talk, I will outline the general architecture of the system, which is cur...
