  1. 34. Successful Demonstration of Simultaneous PET/MR Imaging with a RF-Penetrable PET Insert

    2 - Advances in MR-PET instrumentation: systems
    Talk
    The integration of PET’s ability to visualize and quantify molecular signatures and MRI’s excellent anatomical information shows great promise to be a powerful tool for disease characterization. However, the high cost of simultaneous PET/MRI has limited its availability. To address this problem, we have developed an RF-penetrable PET insert that can be placed in the bore of any MRI system...

  2. 79. Imaging Performance of a Full-Ring Prototype PET-MRI System Based on Four-Layer DOI-PET Detectors Integrated with a RF Coil

    2 - Advances in MR-PET instrumentation: systems
    Talk
    We are developing a PET system integrated with a birdcage RF-coil for PET-MRI in order to realize both high sensitivity and high spatial resolution of the PET image by using the 4-layered depth-of-interaction (DOI) PET detector. We constructed a full-ring prototype system and evaluated performances, especially imaging performance, of the prototype system in simultaneous measurement. The...

  3. 85. A Single-Mode Data Acquisition Architecture for PET/MRI
    Giancarlo Sportelli (Department of Physics, University of Pisa and INFN, Pisa, Italy)

    2 - Advances in MR-PET instrumentation: systems
    Talk
    The development of MRI compatible detectors based on compact solid state photomultipliers has recently led to simultaneous fully integrated PET/MRI systems for human imaging. The PET acquisition design for MRI integration is known to have several additional constraints, including smaller space, electromagnetic compatibility issues and thermal management. The current work presents the PET...

  4. 71. Evaluation of a Partial Ring Design for the INSERT SPECT/MRI System
    Kjell Erlandsson (University College London)
    18/05/2015, 12:00
    4 - Advances in MR-SPECT instrumentation
    Talk
    The aim of the INSERT project is to develop a SPECT insert for a commercial MRI system, for performing simultaneous SPECT/MRI brain studies in humans. We have previously investigated various design options for the detector system, based on a complete ring of detectors. We are now considering a partial ring, due to space limitations. We have investigated the degradation in image quality with a...

  5. 94. MRC-SPECT-DF: An MR-Compatible SPECT System with Dual-FOV Collimation Design for Microscopic SPECT Imaging
    Ling-Jian Meng (University of Illinois)

    4 - Advances in MR-SPECT instrumentation
    Talk
    We will report the design and performance of a MR-compatible SPECT system that utilizes a dual-FOV aperture design for microscopic SPECT imaging of small animals inside an pre-existing MR scanner. The MRC-SPECT-DF system consists of a full ring of high resolution CdTe detectors and an aperture that consists of dual-FOV aperture system design that has two sets of aperture rings along the axis,...
