We have implemented and validated an algorithm for three-dimensional positron emission
tomography transmission-to-computed tomography registration in the chest, using mutual …

Purpose: To assess pretreatment hypoxia in a variety of tumors using positron emission
tomography (PET) after injection of the hypoxia-binding radiopharmaceutical [“‘F] …

Fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) has been shown to bind selectively to hypoxic cells in vitro and
in vivo at radiobiologically significant oxygen levels. When labeled with the positron emitter …

Purpose : Recent clinical investigations have shown a strong correlation between pretreatment
tumor hypoxia and poor response to radiotherapy. These observations raise questions …

We hypothesized that delineation of gliomas from gray matter with 18 F-FDG PET could be
improved by extending the interval between 18 F-FDG administration and PET data …

We evaluated a commercial positron emission mammography (PEM) camera, the PEM Flex
Solo II. This system comprises two 6 × 16.4 cm detectors that scan together covering up to a …

MATERIALS AND METhODS Patients We evaluated six patients (6 men; age range 45—
69yr; mean age 60 yr), four with small cell lung cancer and two with sarcomas. Cancer was …

Appropriate application of spatially variant system models can correct for degraded resolution
response and mispositioning errors. This paper explores the detector blurring component …

Time-of-Flight (TOF) positron emission tomographs (PET) were developed during the 1980s
and early 1990s. Initial investigations into the potential improvements in signal-to-nolse …

Objective: Detector designs for small animal scanners are currently dominated by discrete
crystal implementations. However, given the small crystal cross-sections required to obtain …
