    Prospects in medical imaging
    Oral presentations
    Several imaging techniques are available to study the neovasculature during tumor angiogenesis. MRI provides information on morphology,blood volume (TBV),blood flow (TBF) and on the average vessel diameter (vessel size index,VSI),PET enables studies of metabolic activity. To visualize the 3D vessel architecture at a capillary level (5-10μm) SRμCT is needed.Validation of in vivo imaging data is...

    Prospects in medical imaging
    Oral presentations
    Breast cancer is among the most frequent cancer types for women. The average life-time risk is about one eighth. As early detection leads to high cure rates, breast cancer screening is a priority in healthcare policies. However, conventional methods like X-ray mammography and echography show lesions but lack specificity. Additionally, those techniques are based on tissue density differences...

  5. 66. LaBr3 and LYSO monolithic crystals coupled to photosensor arrays for TOF-PET
    Dr Peter Dendooven (KVI, University of Groningen)
    03/02/2010, 14:30
    Prospects in medical imaging
    Oral presentations
    Positron emission tomography (PET) detectors based on a monolithic scintillation crystal coupled to a photosensor array can maximize scanner sensitivity and allow excellent intrinsic spatial resolution as well as depth-of-interaction (DOI) correction. Investigating the suitability of such detectors for time-of-flight (TOF) PET, we are focusing on the promising combination of fast and bright...

  6. 95. Optimization of a table-top synchrotron light source for radiological applications
    Prof. Mauro Gambaccini (University of Ferrara)
    03/02/2010, 14:45
    Prospects in medical imaging
    Oral presentations
    Within the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission, a three-year project named LABSYNC has been recently funded with the aim of designing a complete small facility around the MIRRORCLE light source, a laboratory sized commercial synchrotron developed in Japan [1]. The Medical Physics group of Ferrara University is one of the seven partners of the LABSYNC consortium. Within...

  7. 63. Clinical and Pre-clinical applications spectral x-ray detectors
    Dr Anthony Butler (Univ. Canterbury, Dept. Phys. Astro)
    03/02/2010, 15:00
    Prospects in medical imaging
    Oral presentations
    Photon counting detectors are of growing importance in medical imaging because they enable routine measurement of photon energy. Detectors, such as Medipix2 and Medipix3, record the energy of incident photons with minimal loss of spatial resolution. This is being investigated for both pre-clinical and clinical applications.Early investigations and clinical guidance suggest that computed...

    Prospects in medical imaging
    Oral presentations
    Lung cancer accounts for the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States with some 160000 deaths, i.e. around 28% of all cancer deaths, expected in 2009. Low-dose X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a reliable tool in terms of lung cancer early diagnosis: the radiation dose for a screening session is smaller than that of clinical CT scans and lung nodules smaller in...
