    Background. Molecular imaging using an animal PET camera is a powerful technique for studying the bio-distribution of radiolabelled tracers and ligands, offering a means for in-vivo assessment of new drugs and disease related biochemical processes. The design of such imaging experiments must be guided by knowledge of the performance characteristics of the PET camera. For example,...

  3. 12. SmartPET: A Small Animal P.E.T Demonstrator using HyperPure Germanium Planar Detectors
    Mr Reynold Cooper (University of Liverpool)

    New Techniques for Positron Emission Tomography
    Contributed Talk
    The SmartPET project aims to exploit advances in the sensitivity, speed, position and energy resolution of HPGe detectors to construct a small animal Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system. The small animal scanning system will consist of two planar HPGe detectors separated by 109mm and housed in a rotating frame allowing data acquisition over a full 180o range. Each detector...

  4. 22. The Silicon photomultiplier for application to high-resolution gamma cameras for PET applications
    Dr Deborah Herbert (INFN Pisa)
    13/09/2005, 12:00
    New Techniques for Positron Emission Tomography
    Contributed Talk
    Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for small animal studies requires high-resolution gamma cameras with high sensitivity. Traditionally, inorganic scintillators are used and, in recent times, coupled to position sensitive PMTs. Such PSPMTs are costly, operated at high voltage and have a relatively low packing fraction. However, their advantage, compared to current solid state...

  5. 72. Modification of a Medical PET Scanner for engineering PEPT
    Mr Alireza Sadrmomtaz (University of Birmingham)
    13/09/2005, 12:15
    Novel Photon Detection Systems
    Contributed Talk
    Over the last 20 years, positron emission tomography (PET) has developed as the most powerful functional imaging modality in medicine. Over the same period, the University of Birmingham Positron Imaging Centre has developed the use of positron emitting tracers to study flow in engineering systems. Much of this work has used the technique of positron emission particle tracking...
