Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetite and maghemite) are intensively studied due to
their broad potential applications in medical and biological sciences. Their unique …

The history of Compton cameras began with the detection of radiation sources originally for
applications in astronomy. A Compton camera is a promising γ-ray detector that operates in …

Nanomedicines are typically submicrometer-sized carrier materials (nanoparticles)
encapsulating therapeutic and/or imaging compounds that are used for the prevention …

Radioembolization gains continuous traction as a primarily palliative radiation treatment for
hepatic tumours. A form of nuclear medicine therapy, Yttrium-90 containing microspheres …

The present article highlights the important progress made in the last two decades in the
fields of molecular imaging and radionuclide therapy. Advancements in radiometal-based …

Twenty years ago, SPECT/CT became commercially available, combining the strengths of
both techniques: the diagnostic sensitivity of SPECT and the anatomic detail of CT. Other …

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography
(PET) are established medical imaging modalities that have been implemented for decades …

There is increasing clinical use of combined positron emission tomography and MRI, but to
date there has been no clinical system developed capable of simultaneous single-photon …

The Compton camera can simultaneously acquire images of multiple isotopes injected in a
body; therefore, it has the potential to introduce a new subfield in the field of biomedical …

In this article, we describe recent developments in the design of both single-photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) instrumentation …
