This project aims at the construction of a small-animal PET scanner.
The team propose a new generation of PET scanners based on a听solid-state detectors (SSD) which听are expected to allow for听ultra-high resolution molecular imaging.听It will also improve significantly the ability for听early diagnosis听while reducing the radiation dose to the patient.
The novel developed configuration will allow to achieve spatial resolutions better than 300碌m with the help of advanced reconstruction methods. With unprecedented spatial resolution and depth-of-interaction measurement, such a new-generation instrument will allow to overcome present PET resolutions, that are the key weakness of molecular imaging, and thereby to significantly broaden its capabilities.
