Advanced Functional Tumor Imaging and Precision Nuclear Medicine Enabled by Digital PET Technologies
The purpose of this article is to provide a brief overview of the background, basic principles, technological evolution, clinical capabilities, and future directions for functional tumor imaging as PET evolves from the conventional photomultiplier tube-based platform into a fully digital detector acquisition platform. The recent introduction of solid-state digital photon counting PET detector i...
متن کاملThe application of unconventional PET tracers in nuclear medicine
The production and application of PET tracers has been a unique step in the progress of nuclear medicine in last two decades. The most important PET tracers include F-18, C-11 and N-13 radioisotopes and many nuclear medicine centers throughout the globe are using them. However some new tracers are under their way to the mass administration, currently being in th...
متن کاملNuclear Medicine Imaging Instrumentation
Nuclear medicine is a diagnostic imaging modality that is used to obtain clinical information about most of the major tissues and organs of the body. Diagnostic information is obtained from the way the tissues and organs process radiolabeled compounds (radiopharmaceuticals). The radiopharmaceutical is typically administered to the patient though an intravenous injection. The radiopharmaceutical...
متن کاملNuclear medicine usage grows, led by PET.
Led by PET A n estimated 1,129,900 clinical PET studies were performed in the United States in 2005, according to a report released in August by IMV Medical Information Division, a market research and consulting firm in Des Plains, IL. These studies were performed in 1,725 hospital and nonhospital sites, using dedicated PET/CT or PET units, mobile units, or nuclear medicine cameras with coincid...
متن کاملFuture of nuclear medicine: SPECT versus PET.
The development of nuclear medicine as a medical specialty has resulted in the large-scale application of effective routine imaging methods that have reached widely recognized clinical usefulness for the diagnosis and characterization of different disorders (1). The number of radionuclide investigations increased exponentially when the nuclear reactor in Oak Ridge, TN, was opened for radionucli...
