Results from a new PET/CT scanner using lutetium-yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) crystals
for the PET component are presented. This scanner, which operates in a fully 3-dimensional …

This study evaluated the positron emission tomography (PET) imaging performance of the
Ingenuity TF 128 PET/computed tomography (CT) scanner which has a PET component that …

PET with [methyl- 11 C]-choline ( 11 C-choline) can be useful for detecting well-differentiated
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is not 18 F-FDG–avid. This study was designed to …

Translational research plays a vital role in understanding the underlying pathophysiology of
human diseases, and hence development of new diagnostic and therapeutic options for …

Purpose Choline-based radiotracers have been studied for PET imaging of hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC). Using an 18 F-labeled choline analog, instead of the 11 C-labeled native …

Purpose Studies have established the value of [(methyl)1- 11 C]-acetate ([ 11 C]Act) combined
with 2-deoxy-2[ 18 F]fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC…

14 Introduction: The use of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) as photosensors has enabled
novel PET detector designs with improved physical performance characteristics. We measured …

We present a summary of the performance of a new-generation of commercial PET/CT
scanners with time-of-flight (TOF) capability. The Philips GEMINI TF uses 28,336 lutetium-yttrium …

Purpose Metal artifacts during computed tomography (CT) hinder the evaluation of
diagnostic images and impair the delineation of tumor volume in treatment planning. Several …

An optimal experiment design methodology was developed to select the framing schedule to
be used in dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) for estimation of myocardial blood …
