Researchers in the Molecular Imaging Instrumentation Laboratory at Stanford University have developed a PET (positron emission tomography) detector and front end readout assembly that can operate in a high field MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) system.
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 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).
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.
