Stanford scientists have invented a new PET-nanophotonic metamaterial scintillator that consists of tunable scintillating alkaline-earth rare-earth fluoride nanoparticles (MLnF) for low-dose, high-resolution PET imaging.
Stanford Researchers have developed a method for a high-resolution photon imaging device with high fill factor (the ratio of the area of the active imaging elements vs. the dead area occupied by non-imaging elements).
Current techniques for reconstructing images in positron emission tomography (PET) cannot correctly use events in which at least one photon of a pair has scattered in tissue (also known as scatter coincidence events).
Stanford researchers have invented a decoder for multiplexed readouts of imaging arrays that optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the decoded detector pixel signals.
Researchers in the Molecular Imaging Instrumentation Laboratory at Stanford University have developed methods to improve the image quality of tomographic image reconstruction, including positron emission tomography (PET).
