It is currently being employed to prototype total-body scanning in non-human primates ... “Mini-EXPLORER II uses the same PET detectors and electronics that are in the full-sized device,” Badawi notes ...

This capability could increase image sensitivity by a factor of 40, or reduce radiation dose by a factor of 40, compared with current clinical PET scanners. It could also decrease whole-body scanning ...

A multidisciplinary team led by Simon Cherry and Ramsey Badawi developed EXPLORER, the world’s first whole-body PET scanner. PET (positron emission tomography) is an extremely safe and powerful method ...

CHICAGO – A new study suggests that whole-body PET/CT imaging should may be more useful than whole-body MRI for determining the extent a tumor has spread, according to an article in the December ...

Whole body 18FDG-PET is a more accurate test than CT for locating cancer spread in breast cancer patients, a new study shows. Thirty-two patients (28 with cancer; two with high risk lesions and ...

With this aim, researchers have developed a technique for clinical positron emission tomography (PET) imaging that creates advanced whole-body parametric maps, which allow quantitative evaluation ...

To address this issue, researchers have developed a deep transfer learning approach (a type of AI) for fully automated, whole-body tumor segmentation and prognosis on PET/CT scans. Data from 611 ...

A collaborative effort to build a whole-body PET imager of unprecedented scale has just been funded by the DOE to the tune of $15.5 million. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...

By providing whole-body quantification of HER2 expression, 68 Ga-ABY-025 PET/CT can play a valuable role in treatment planning and could spare patients from unnecessary drug-related side effects.
