    How to build systems that matter? To this, we made some practical observations in the narrow field of brain PET in the last years. The applications of brain PET in diagnostics for primary brain tumors, dementia, movement disorders, epilepsy, drug development, and neuroimaging research were so far not enough to warrant a revival of dedicated brain PET systems. The anticipated use together with...

    Full brain imaging in humans during natural body movements is challenging because most high-resolution imaging modalities (PET, MRI, CT) require participants to lie down motionless, limiting the opportunity to study upright locomotion to that of imagined movement. Because PET imaging involves the injection of a radiotracer for imaging, it has been possible to image full brain activation during...

    Real-time dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) of human brain function in natural and free states has significant and far-reaching scientific and clinical value. However, PET detectors need to use scintillation crystals with high effective atomic number and high density to detect gamma photon pairs generated by the positron annihilation, which is difficult to meet the requirements of...

    Invited Virtual

    PET human brain imaging has evolved dramatically, using specific radiotracers and imaging paradigms to measure numerous brain targets and to assess neurotransmitter and receptor dynamics. Until recently, dedicated brain PET has not progressed since the HRRT, so there is a compelling need to build next generation human brain PET systems. This is the goal of the NeuroEXPLORER (NX) project. Based...
