We characterize a compact MR-compatible PET insert for simultaneous preclinical PET/MRI.
Although specifically designed with the strict size constraint to fit inside the 114-mm inner …

We present the initial results from a small animal PET insert designed to be operated inside
a 7T MRI. The insert fits within the 114 mm inner diameter of the Bruker BGA-12S gradient …

PET is a powerful molecular imaging technique that can provide functional information on
living objects. However, the spatial resolution of PET imaging has been limited to around 1 …

MADPET4 is the first small animal PET insert with two layers of individually read out crystals
in combination with silicon photomultiplier technology. It has a novel detector arrangement …

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 …

Abstract Purpose Combined PET/MRI studies receive increasing attention, as their
combination allows deeper insight into disease progression. We evaluated a novel 1 T …

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 …

PET combined with CT has proven to be a valuable multimodality imaging device revealing
both functional and anatomic information. Although PET/CT has become completely …

The article in this issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine by Chatziioannou et al.(1) about
microPET, a PET scanner for small-animal functional imaging, demonstrates the successful …

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 …
