A review of research and development of Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG)-based single crystal
scintillators is presented. Crystals of this type have been prepared by the micro-pulling down …

PET scanners are sophisticated and highly sensitive biomedical imaging devices that can
produce highly quantitative images showing the 3-dimensional distribution of radiotracers …

In order to detect the breast cancer at the early stage with high efficiency, we intend to
develop positron emission mammography (PEM), using Pr: LuAG single crystal as a …

Because positron emission tomography (PET) provides biochemical information in vivo with
the sensitivity at the sub-pico-molar level, pre-clinical research using PET plays an important …

We evaluated a commercial positron emission mammography (PEM) camera, the PEM Flex
Solo II. This system comprises two 6× 16.4 cm detectors that scan together covering up to a …

In this review, we will cover both clinical and technical aspects of the advantages and
disadvantages of organ specific (dedicated) molecular imaging (MI) systems, namely …

Introduction Positron emission tomography (PET) is the most sensitive of all medical imaging
modalities for quantitatively probing biologic processes at the molecular level. However …

Tomographic breast imaging techniques can potentially improve detection and diagnosis of
cancer in women with radiodense and/or fibrocystic breasts. We have developed a high …

We developed positron emission tomography (PET) detectors based on monolithic
scintillation crystals and position-sensitive light sensors. Intrinsic depth-of-interaction (DOI) …

We have constructed a dedicated breast PET/CT scanner capable of high-resolution
functional and anatomic imaging. Here, we present an initial characterization of scanner …
