The authors present a design of a PET scanner dedicated to breast imaging. The scanner
uses two 2-dimensional position sensitive NaI (Tl) detectors, each with 16 PMTs, placed …

With the development of several classes of dedicated emission and transmission imaging
technologies utilizing ionizing radiation for improved breast cancer detection and in vivo …

We proposed and tested a novel geometry for PET system design analogous to pinhole
SPECT called the virtual-pinhole PET (VP-PET) geometry to determine whether it could …

A small field of view, high resolution gamma camera has been integrated into a dedicated
breast, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) device. The detector can be …

This is a study of the FDG breast career imaging capability of the prototype high resolution
multi-ring variable field of view PET scanner developed at the University of Texas MD …

As a test bed for dedicated breast single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
cameras that are under development, a general purpose SPECT system with two tiltable …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of 2 newly
developed dedicated breast PET scanners in patients with known or suspected breast …

Nuclear imaging of the breast shows physiological changes that usually are due to
malignancies. These changes are detectable earlier than those visible on other imaging …

1807 Objectives: The use of tomographic breast imaging techniques can potentially improve
the detection and diagnosis of cancer in women with radiodense and/or fibrocystic breasts …
