1952 Objectives One challenge of pre-clinical PET imaging is the amount of scan time
required to produce high quality, high-resolution images. This issue is important because …

PET imaging of rodents is increasingly used in preclinical research, but its utility is limited by
spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio of the images. A recently developed preclinical …

2437 Introduction: Dual-modality PET/MRI imaging is a very powerful tool for brain imaging
since PET and MRI are important brain imaging tools and highly complementary. Dedicated …

317 Objectives There is a potential demand for compact, high-sensitivity, high-resolution,
and low-cost PET scanners in brain imaging such as for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's …

We developed a prototype system to evaluate the feasibility of using a PET insert device to
achieve higher resolution from a general-purpose animal PET scanner. Methods: The …

We developed a prototype small-animal PET scanner based on depth-encoding detectors
using dual-ended readout of small scintillator elements to produce high and uniform spatial …

A full-ring PET insert device should be able to enhance the image resolution of existing
small-animal PET scanners. Methods: The device consists of 18 high-resolution PET …

We evaluated the performance characteristics of a prototype preclinical PET scanner
available as an easy clippable assembly that can dock to an MRI system. The single ring …

Conventionally, block detectors, which consist of a two-dimensionally segmented scintillator
array with inserted reflectors, are often used for PET. On the other hand, PET detectors with …

488 Objectives This work focused on developing a small-animal PET scanner by using
depth-encoding detectors with dual-ended readout with very small pixel size to produce high …
