  1. 14. Dedicated PET-MRI-fMRI detectors for brain
    Dr H. Herzog
    02/09/2012, 08:45
    Abstract. After more than 10 years of experimental developments towards simultaneous PET/MRI especially for small animals, first prototype scanners for PET/MRI of the human brain have been realized. At the Forschungszentrum Juelich, one of four prototypes delivered by Siemens worldwide combines a commercial 3 T MRI with a newly developed BrainPET insert allowing simultaneous data acquisition...

  3. 16. Dedicated innovative SPECT detectors for brain
    Dr B. Tsui
    02/09/2012, 09:35
    Abstract. SPECT imaging of the brain has a long history of development. The goal of the development of brain SPECT imaging instrumentation and techniques is to provide the maximum detection efficiency or the lowest image noise level for increasingly improved spatial resolution. Most of the traditional brain SPECT systems utilize the scintillation detector technologies and improve the imaging...

  4. 17. Dedicated innovative PET detectors for brain
    S. Majewski
    02/09/2012, 10:00
    Abstract. Brain is the most interesting organ to image and there is lately a high level of fascination in the society about imaging brain, due to the increasing hope that many severe debilitating disease conditions such as dementia (Alzheimer’s, other), mental diseases and severe depression can be diagnosed early and treated under imaging guidance. The very recently introduced hybrid PET/MRI...

  5. 18. High Resolution Brain SPECT Imaging Technologies and Clinical Performances
    Dr B. Kari
    02/09/2012, 10:55
    Abstract. High resolution SPECT imaging has great impact in the diagnosis of functional abnormalities in deep brain structures and always appeared as a high priority demand. Short summary and overview will be presented about the various functional imaging technologies with their physical and clinical performances including the available methods to improve the image quality on the particular...
