Following successful performance testing and human imaging of a prototype PennPET Explorer, the scanner has been expanded to a current axial field of view of 1.12 m. Initial studies on this instrument have demonstrated encouraging results for total-body positron emission tomography imaging. Planned studies will test the capabilities of the PennPET Explorer further and inform the design of further human imaging protocols.
在成功完成原型 PennPET Explorer 的性能测试和人体成像后,该扫描仪的轴向视野已扩展至 1.12m。该仪器的初步研究结果表明,全身正电子发射断层成像的效果令人鼓舞。计划中的研究将进一步测试 PennPET Explorer 的性能,并为进一步的人体成像协议设计提供信息。
