Fabrication and Testing of a Novel PET insert for Simultaneous PET/MRI
Project Summary. PET (positron emission tomography) is the most sensitive imaging modality available that can be used both for small animals and humans. We propose to build with our industrial and academic partners a new generation of PET scanners based on a single crystal tube (ScintoTube – ST‐PET). This will effectively remove edges from current generation PET scanners. There are distortions at the edges of scanner elements that effectively reduce spatial resolution and sensitivity. The propose scanner has been designed and will be built to be used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. This is an Academic/Industrial partnership grant. The University of Virginia (UVa) will lead…
