PositrPositron Emission Tomography (PET) constitutes the imaging modality of excellence in nuclear medicine. Conventional whole body (WB) PET are used for both adult and pediatric studies. However, these scanners are not large enough to image the entire infant body, are not optimized in terms of sensitivity imposing the injection of high radiotracer doses and their spatial resolution is as best 3-5 mm at the center of scanner, which is not enough for visualizing small lesions. Moreover, since PET imaging requires the injection of a radiotracer compound, its use is compromised in pediatric due to radiation regulations and patient safety. To overcome these limitations, I aim to develop an…
