We present the results of testing a previously presented algorithm for three-dimensional
image reconstruction that uses all gamma-ray coincidence events detected by a PET …

A fully 3-D reconstruction algorithm has been developed to reconstruct data from a 16 ring
PET camera (a Siemens/CTI 953B) with automatically retractable septa. The tomograph is …

In order to assess the potential of a multiring camera for three-dimensional PET (positron
emission tomography) the septa were removed from a commercially produced PET camera …

The authors are designing a new detector for PET scanners using discrete 4/spl times/4/spl
times/10 mm/sup 3/GSO (Ce) crystals on a continuous lightguide with 39 mm photomultiplier …

We present initial results of a position-sensitive photodiode/BGO detector for high resolution,
multi-layer positron emission tomography (PET). Position sensitivity is achieved by dividing …

A new PET scanner for brain imaging (and animals) has been designed with very high
sensitivity and spatial resolution. The design is an evolution of the PENN-PET scanner …

In view of the number of PET studies involving low count rate acquisitions, there has been
increasing interest recently in the development of positron cameras capable of fully three …

The performance of the PENN-PET 240H scanner from UGM Medical Systems is tested and
compared to the prototype PENN-PET scanner built at the University of Pennsylvania. The …

A method to remove the scattered background from a reconstructed image by deconvolution
with a point response function which includes the scatter contribution is presented. The …

The ratio (S: C) of singles to true coincident events in a positron emission tomography (PET)
depends on the collimator size and shape. As well as causing random counts when they fall …
