Stanford researchers have developed a method which can simultaneously observe two positron emitting isotopes using two distinct molecular probes and a modified PET scanner. This system enables the simultaneous observation of two different molecular processes.
Stanford researchers have prototyped a system to enhance the sensitivity of triple coincidences for multi-isotope PET by adding an extra detector dedicated for the detection of the third prompt gamma in coincidence with the annihilation photons.
Stanford Researchers have patented a method and apparatus for detecting ionizing radiation, that, if successful, would achieve a coincidence time resolution 100x better than current positron emission tomography (PET) detectors.
