Among the many medical imaging modalities, CT and MRI scans are utilized most often for imaging bone and soft tissue respectively. As such, physicians often require both images to fully diagnose patients and determine treatment plans.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a computational system to robustly generate quantitative perfusion parametric maps automatically from computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion images.
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 compact, scalable electronic readout that can multiplex 24 or more fast outputs of each 6x4 SiPM array to only 1 timing channel per detector layer unit.
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 in the Dai Lab have developed the first ultra-bright cubic-phase erbium-based rare-earth nanoparticles (α-ErNPs) with down-shifting luminescence at ~ 1600 nm for in vivo NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) imaging with deep penetration and high clarity.
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.
A Stanford researcher has developed two advanced approaches for the positron sensitive high-energy photon sensor technology for Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
Stanford researchers have patented a novel concept for a position sensitive high-energy photon sensor device for high resolution radiation imaging that can enhance capabilities of Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
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).
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a patented integrated circuit to amplify and digitize pulse signals from silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and avalanche photodiode (APD) -based semiconductor photodetectors for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) applications while prov
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).
