Projectdetails

Introduction

Open-IMAGING will develop an innovative Open Imaging System, highly flexible and adaptable to the organ to be examined.

System Overview

The system of the Proof of Concept will consist of two large paddle detectors built with the novel PET (Positron Emission Tomography) technology developed in 4D-PET ERC-ADG.

Technical Specifications

  • Outstanding (<150ps) Coincidence Time Resolution
  • Placing the detectors closer to the Field of View (FOV)

These features will dramatically increase the sensitivity, allowing high resolution and high contrast images, at a lower dose (factor 10) than current commercial scanners.

Applications

The system will open up new venues for:

  1. Real-time image-guided interventions (surgery, radiation therapy)
  2. In-vivo tracking of a small number of cells
  3. Performing repeated scans for active surveillance of suspect patients

This will help diminish the number of false positives and ensure a safer post-treatment follow-up (for instance, chemotherapy).
