We will report on the development of a novel PET scanner concept which is potentially cost-effective, could have a higher patient throughput, and would also allow for a construction of a full-body PET apparatus. The resulting detection system would provide the basis for increased sensitivity in cancer detection, providing a more robust diagnosis for an early therapy selection in an...

The goal of the innovative 3$\gamma$ medical imaging modality is to reduce significantly the dose administered to the patient. Based both on new detection technologies involving liquid xenon and on a specific 3$\gamma$ emitter radionuclide, $^{44}$Sc produced by the ARRONAX cyclotron, the 3$\gamma$ imaging has a very high potential from small animal imaging acceptances to whole body clinical...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful molecular imaging method that plays an increasing role in personalized medicine. Brain PET is especially useful for investigating the molecular dysfunctions associated with neurodegenerative diseases (ND). It contributes to the diagnosis of ND and to the monitoring of the functional changes over the course of ND. For such studies it is important...

We have developed a 64 channel ASIC for reading out thousands of SiPM channels for PET applications.
A readout electronics based on this ASIC will be described, and we will present the performance of the readout in a test PET scanner setup with 2'048 channels. We will also present a comparison of the performance of our ASIC with SiPMs form different manufacturers
First results with a new...
