In order to understand the consequences of the mutation on behavioral and biological
phenotypes relevant to autism, mutations in many of the risk genes for autism spectrum …

There have been major advances in PET technology that cumulatively have helped improve
image quality, increased the range of applications for PET, and contributed to the more …

Noninvasive imaging at the molecular level is an emerging field in biomedical research. This
paper introduces a new technology synergizing two leading imaging methodologies …

PET combined with CT has proven to be a valuable multimodality imaging device revealing
both functional and anatomic information. Although PET/CT has become completely …

We evaluated the performance characteristics of the eXplore VISTA dual-ring small-animal
PET scanner, a stationary, ring-type, depth-of-interaction (DOI) correcting system designed …

A major advance in biomedical science and diagnosis was accomplished with the
development of in vivo techniques to image radiolabeled molecules, but limited spatial …

Objective Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET), which reveals information about
both the spatial distribution and temporal kinetics of a radiotracer, enables quantitative …

Appropriate application of spatially variant system models can correct for degraded
resolution response and mispositioning errors. This paper explores the detector blurring …

Small-animal PET systems are now striving for sub-millimetre resolution. Current systems
based upon PSPMTs and finely pixellated scintillators can be pushed to higher resolution …

The development of dedicated small animal PET (positron emission tomography) scanners
has led to significantly higher spatial resolution and comparable sensitivity to clinical …
