Image quality assessment along the one metre axial field-of-view of the total-body Biograph Vision Quadra PET/CT system for 18F-FDGEJNMMI Physics - Tập 9 - Trang 1-17 - 2022

Recently, total-body PET/CT systems with an extended axial field-of-view (aFOV) became commercially available which allow acquiring physiologic information of multiple organs simultaneously. However, the nominal aFOV may clinically not be used effectively due to the inherently reduced sensitivity at the distal ends of the aFOV. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of the useful aFOV of t...... hiện toàn bộ

The aim of this study was to investigate the variability in quantitative performance and feasibility of quantitative harmonisation in 89Zr PET/CT imaging. Eight EANM EARL-accredited (Kaalep A et al., Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 45:412–22, 2018) PET/CT systems were investigated using phantom acquisitions of uniform and NEMA NU2-2007 body phantoms. The phantoms were filled according to EANM EARL guid...... hiện toàn bộ
Human biodistribution and dosimetry of [11C]-UCB-J, a PET radiotracer for imaging synaptic densityEJNMMI Physics - - 2021

[11C]-UCB-J is an emerging tool for the noninvasive measurement of synaptic vesicle density in vivo. Here, we report human biodistribution and dosimetry estimates derived from sequential whole-body PET using two versions of the OLINDA dosimetry program. Sequential whole-body PET scans were performed in 3 healthy subjects for 2 h after injection of 254 ± 77 MBq [11C]-UCB-J. Volumes of interest were...... hiện toàn bộ
Intra- and inter-operator variability in MRI-based manual segmentation of HCC lesions and its impact on dosimetryEJNMMI Physics - Tập 9 - Trang 1-16 - 2022

The aim was to quantify inter- and intra-observer variability in manually delineated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesion contours and the resulting impact on radioembolization (RE) dosimetry. Ten patients with HCC lesions treated with Y-90 RE and imaged with post-therapy Y-90 PET/CT were selected for retrospective analysis. Three radiologists contoured 20 lesions manually on baseline multiphase ...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of injection dose, post-reconstruction filtering, and collimator choice on image quality of myocardial perfusion SPECT using cadmium-zinc telluride detectors in the ratEJNMMI Physics - Tập 2 - Trang 1-17 - 2015

The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the impact of injection dose, post-reconstruction filtering, and collimator choice on image quality of myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using cadmium-zinc telluride (CZT) detectors and (2) to determine how these factors affect measured infarct size in the in vivo rat. Twenty-four healthy and eight myocardial infarct...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of the PETsys TOFPET2 ASIC in multi-channel coincidence experimentsEJNMMI Physics - Tập 8 - Trang 1-21 - 2021
Vanessa Nadig, David Schug, Bjoern Weissler, Volkmar Schulz
Aiming to measure the difference in arrival times of two coincident γ-photons with an accuracy in the order of 200ps, time-of-flight positron emission tomography systems commonly employ silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and high-resolution digitization electronics, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). This work evaluates the performance of the TOFPET2 ASIC, released by PETsys Electroni...... hiện toàn bộ
