    The 100µPET project, led by the University of Geneva, the University of Luzern, and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, aims at the development of a small-animal positron-emission tomography (PET) scanner with ultra-high-resolution molecular imaging capabilities. This is achieved through the use of a compact, modular stack of multiple thin layers of monolithic pixel detectors and...

    The gold standard technique for preoperative parathyroid localisation is 99mTc-Sestamibi/123I dual-isotope parathyroid imaging. This technique subtracts 123I uptake in normal tissue from 99mTc-Sestamibi imaging to reveal parathyroid glands which would otherwise be obscured by the thyroid. Due to the difficulty of interpreting preoperative images within the surgical environment, the translation...

    Background. Single ion counting in particle therapy may lead to new beam monitoring systems much faster and accurate than those currently used in clinics, thus opening the way to innovative delivery strategies. Thin silicon PIN sensors (60 μm active thickness) segmented in strips, manufactured at FBK with different geometries, were optimized for tracking of clinical carbon ions. The...
