متن کاملInitial results of simultaneous PET/MRI experiments with an MRI-compatible silicon photomultiplier PET scanner.
UNLABELLED The most investigated semiconductor photosensor for MRI-compatible PET detectors is the avalanche photodiode (APD). However, the silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), also called the Geiger-mode APD, is gaining attention in the development of the next generation of PET/MRI systems because the SiPM has much better performance than the APD. We have developed an MRI-compatible PET system base...
متن کاملQuantitative, simultaneous PET/MRI for intratumoral imaging with an MRI-compatible PET scanner.
UNLABELLED Noninvasive methods are needed to explore the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment and its modulation by therapy. Hybrid PET/MRI systems are being developed for small-animal and clinical use. The advantage of these integrated systems depends on their ability to provide MR images that are spatially coincident with simultaneously acquired PET images, allowing combined functional MRI an...
متن کاملShimming Permanent Magnet of MRI Scanner
In this paper an approach of ferromagnetic shimming for permanent MRI magnet is presented. It is designed to reduce unhomogeneity of magnetostatic field of permanent magnet to meet the stringent requirement for MRI applications. An optimal configuration of ferromagnetic pieces is generated through calculation according to the initial field map and the demanded final homogeneity specifications. ...
متن کاملVisual stimulus presentation using fiber optics in the MRI scanner.
Imaging the neural basis of visuomotor actions using fMRI is a topic of increasing interest in the field of cognitive neuroscience. One challenge is to present realistic three-dimensional (3-D) stimuli in the subject's peripersonal space inside the MRI scanner. The stimulus generating apparatus must be compatible with strong magnetic fields and must not interfere with image acquisition. Virtual...
