  1. 46. The 10 ps TOFPET challenge: A way to the deployment of PET imaging to LMICs
    Paul Rene Michel Lecoq
    16/05/2026, 14:00

    Nuclear Medical Imaging is at the forefront of molecular imaging diagnostic, theragnostic and treatment follow-up techniques for a number of diseases (cancer, neurodegenerative impairment, cardiovascular disorders, etc…), particularly in the rapidly growing context of personalised medicine.
    However, there is a dramatic unbalance for the access to molecular imaging diagnostic tools between...

  2. 4. POSICS: A Handheld Gamma Camera for Real-Time Intraoperative Imaging and Augmented Reality Surgical Guidance
    Domenico Della Volpe (Universitè de Genève)
    16/05/2026, 14:20

    Precise intraoperative localization of tumors and sentinel lymph nodes remains a major challenge in oncologic surgery. Radio-guided surgery (RGS), widely used in procedures such as sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL), relies on the detection of radiotracers ( most commonly $^{99m}$Tc ) accumulated in metabolically active tissues. Despite its...

  3. 16. Versatile and Mobile DOI-TOF PET and SPECT for Diagnostic and Research Imaging
    Karol Lang (University of Texas at Austin)
    16/05/2026, 14:40

    Overview: We report on ongoing research and development of versatile small footprint PET and SPECT imaging and dosimetry technology that shows great promise for diagnostic imaging and as high resolution insert cameras enhancing MRI scans. The employment of the depth of interaction (DoI) and time of flight (ToF) boosts the sensitivity and enables flat panel imaging that dramatically lower...

  4. 27. What PET Scanner Developers Should Do - and Can Do - to Promote Wider Adoption of PET
    Dr Taiga Yamaya (National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST))
    16/05/2026, 15:00

    A substantial portion of PET scanner costs is driven by detector components. However, reducing the number of detectors inevitably leads to a quadratic loss in sensitivity. To address this challenge, we improved the sensitivity-cost balance by focusing on brain imaging. Specifically, adopting our original hemispherical detector geometry increases sensitivity by a factor of 1.5 compared with a...
