Book excerpt: The need in clinical nuclear medicine for imaging devices with high spatial resolution has been discussed at length for many years. More recently, specialists in cardiology and neurology have restated this need for greater resolution in order to effect earlier or more accurate diagnoses of brain tumors, cerebral and myocardial ischemia and infarcts and septum defects, among others. Our approach to filling this need is to ultimately develop a 3072-element, high-purity germanium camera with a 2-mm spatial resolution, an energy resolution of 2 to 3 percent for /sup 99m/Tc, and a clinically useful area of 123 cm2 for imaging the average adult heart, breast or brain. To this end, a 100-element prototype has been constructed and images of rats and mice have been obtained with the use of single and multiple isotopes. A second prototype with 512 elements has also been completed and tested. The 512 elements are derived from an array of electrodes, on the bottom of two germanium crystals, orthogonal to 16 electrodes on the top. The top electrodes are electrically in parallel and have a common electronic readout. The p-contact is palladium over germanium oxide, and the n-side is gold over the lithium diffusion. Cooling for the detector is accomplished through a sapphire motherboard by way of indium contacts which are also the electrical contacts for the n-side. The isolation between the strips on the p- and the n-sides is adequate to attain good energy resolution.

Download or read book Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative Imaging written by Alan C. Perkins and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gamma cameras are traditionally large devices that are situated in nuclear medicine departments, but recent advances in detector design have enabled the production of compact gamma cameras that allow nuclear imaging at the patient bedside and in the operating theatre. Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative Imaging is the first book to cover this new area of imaging, and provides a unique insight into the experimental and clinical use of small field of view gamma cameras in hospitals. This book explores advances in the design and operation of compact gamma cameras and conducts a thorough review of current SFOV systems, before exploring the clinical applications of the technology. It is an essential reference for surgeons, operating theatre staff, clinical scientists (medical physicists), technologists, nuclear physicians and radiologists whose patients could benefit from this technology.

Download or read book Nuclear Medicine Ultrasonics and Thermography written by Sol Nudelman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The material in this volume was prepared and collected over the past four years with the growing realization that a technical revolution was in progress for diagnostic medicine. It became clear that for the wide variety of imaging instruments and methods finding their way into applications for research and clinical medicine, there was a scarcity of reference and text books for the scientist and engineer beginning in the field. Thus what began as a relatively small project for a single volume has grown into certainly two and probably three volumes to adequately cover the field. This first volume is expected to be followed within a few months by a second volume, dealing with diagnostic radiology, and within a year by a third volume, covering most other aspects of medicine that utilize spectra from the ultraviolet through the visible into the near-infrared. The chapters in this book are divided into three groups. The first group deals with nuclear medicine and includes Chapters 1-8. These chapters are arranged to begin with a broad introduction to the subject (Chapter 1) followed by a sequence of four chapters (Chapters 2-5) that provide an in-depth review of the imaging instrumentation developed for the field. Chapter 6 deals with "evaluation" of imaging device per formance, while Chapters 7 and 8 discuss two areas of considerable re search activity.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1004 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Physics and Engineering of Medical Imaging has addressed a subject which in the wide area of biomedical technology is one of those which are showing greater impact in the practice of medicine for the ability to picture both Anatomy and Physiology. The information and accuracy obtained by whatever imaging methodology is a complex result of a multidisciplinary effort of several sciences such as Physics, Engineering, Electronics, Chemistry, Medicine, etc ... Development has occurred through work performed in different environments such as basic and applied research laboratories, industries and clinical centers, with the aim of achieving an efficient transfer of know-how and technology for the improvement of both investigation possibilities and health care. On one hand, such an effort requires an ever-increasing committment of human and financial resources at research and industrial level, and, on the other, it meets serious difficulties in recruiting the necessary human expertise oriented to this technology which breaks with the tradi tiona I academic borders of the single disciplines. Furthermore, the scientific community is continually dealing with the problem of increasing the performance and, at the same time, complexity and costs of instruments, applying more and more sophisticated technology in an effort to meet the demand for more complete and accurate clinical information. The scientific program of this ASI and the qualification of the authors reveals the intrinsic complexity of the development process of the Imaging methodologies.
