    Computed tomography (CT) is a standard imaging tool for the examination of the head and the entire body. For neurological applications, the detection or rule-out of hemorrhage and stroke are the most crucial questions that have to be answered. The high availability worldwide and the fast acquisition time make CT a valuable tool in an emergency setting.
    Dual Energy CT (DECT) provides...

    The paradigm shift in medicine from treatment of acute and/or advanced disease to very early diagnosis and even prevention in cancer, neurodegenerative as well as cardiac fields puts more stringent requirements on PET imaging both in terms of sensitivity as well as specificity. Likewise, recent developments in Targeted Radionuclide Therapy (TRT) where theragnostic pairs are used to tailor a...

    Dedicated preclinical and brain imaging systems and algorithms
    Invited

    Spatial resolution is a key factor in preclinical and neuro-PET imaging. By minimizing the partial volume effect, and the resulting spillover from/to surrounding tissues, the accuracy for quantifying the radiotracer concentration in small structures can be significantly enhanced, therefore mitigating the need to maximize the sensitivity for increasing the contrast-to-noise ratio in target...

    Invited Virtual

    PET imaging is essential in nearly all aspects of high-quality cancer care. However, challenges to the delivery of PET radiopharmaceuticals in developing countries are manifold. Developing countries typically face shortages of imaging equipment and nuclear medicine physicians, and efforts to improve PET imaging are complicated by poor infrastructure, economic barriers, and other obstacles. In...
