Initial 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 کاملDevelopment of an MRI-compatible digital SiPM detector stack for simultaneous PET/MRI
Advances in solid-state photon detectors paved the way to combine positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into highly integrated, truly simultaneous, hybrid imaging systems. Based on the most recent digital SiPM technology, we developed an MRI-compatible PET detector stack, intended as a building block for next generation simultaneous PET/MRI systems. Our detecto...
متن کاملMRI compatible detector design: experience from the development of a digital SiPM based detector stack for simultaneous PET/MRI
Department of Physics of Molecular Imaging Systems, Institute for Experimental Molecular Imaging, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany Silicon based photon detectors make it nowadays possible to build highly integrated PET detectors for simultaneous PET/MRI. Although the operating principle of silicon photomultipliers is believed to be insensitive to the strong magnetic fields inside MRI mac...
متن کاملDevelopment of a PET Scanner for Simultaneously Imaging Small Animals with MRI and PET
Recently, positron emission tomography (PET) is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and staging of cancer. Combined PET and X-ray computed tomography (PET-CT) scanners are now the modality of choice in cancer treatment planning. More recently, the combination of PET and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being explored in many sites. Combining PET and MRI has presented many...
متن کاملDevelopment of Si-PM Based Imaging Systems for Molecular Imaging
Silicon photomultiplier (Si-PM) is a promising photodetector for PET for the use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems because it is insensitive to static magnetic fields. Si-PM is also a promising for high resolution PET systems due to its small channels and high gain. We have developed several Si-PM based imaging systems for molecular imaging. First, we developed a high resolution Si-...
