    The purpose of this study is to show how innovative concepts of compact, pipelined, deadtimeless and ”Time Of Flight” capable electronics similar to those developped for High Energy Physics experiments (LHC and post LHC) could be fairly and easily transferred to the medical imaging field through clinical Positron Emission Tomography scanners. The two overriding weaknesses of PET camera...

    Monolithic scintillators are an attractive alternative to pixelated detector schemes in the design of high- sensitivity, high resolution PET systems. The shape of the scintillation light distribution measured by a position sensitive photo detector contains (x,y,z) information on the interaction point in the crystal. The absence of inter-crystal optical reflectors significantly increases...

    Last year many research groups have been attracted from the first samples of LaBr3:Ce crystals available from St.Gobain. Different applications are under investigation in particular in the field of medical imaging. PET, SPECT and Compton camera instrumentation seem to take advantage from the performances of this new scintillation crystal. In fact, it shows many advantages with respect to...

  4. 162. New Developments in Compton SPECT and Compton PET Imaging

    oral
    The Compton principle of electronic collimation overcomes the resolution-efficiency tradeoff imposed by mechanical collimators, and therefore Compton-based imagers may exhibit both high resolution and high efficiency. We have simulated and developed both Compton SPECT and Compton PET imaging prototypes. Simulations predict better than 3mm spatial resolution and about 10^-3...

    It has been demonstrated [1] that PET information can be used successfully for online monitoring of particle range as well as for dose quantification in both proton and carbon therapy . Furthermore, it is clear that PET [1] is the only issue today for an in-situ and non-invasive treatment plan monitoring. However, existent PET systems are designed either for diagnostics or functional...

    Cancer is a major societal problem and it is the main cause of death between the ages of 45 to 65 years. In the treatment of cancer, radiotherapy (RT) plays an essential role. RT with ions, due to their unique physical and radiobiological properties, offers several advantages over photons. In particular, they penetrate the patient with minimal diffusion, they deposit their maximum energy...
