PET IMAGING SYSTEM MOUNTING FRAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18561042 titled 'PET IMAGING SYSTEM MOUNTING FRAME
The abstract describes a positron emission tomography imaging system with gamma detector elements, detector cassettes, and a mounting frame. Each detector cassette can receive multiple gamma detector elements, and the mounting frame can hold the cassettes at various angular positions around the axis of the bore.
- The system includes a plurality of gamma detector elements and detector cassettes.
- Detector cassettes are designed to accommodate multiple gamma detector elements.
- The mounting frame allows for the placement of detector cassettes at different angular positions around the axis of the bore.
- The system enables the reception of detector cassettes along the axis of the bore and gamma detector elements in a transaxial direction within the cassettes.
Potential Applications: - Medical imaging for diagnosing diseases and conditions. - Research in neuroscience and oncology. - Drug development and testing.
Problems Solved: - Improved imaging accuracy and resolution. - Enhanced flexibility in detector placement. - Streamlined imaging processes.
Benefits: - Higher quality imaging results. - Increased efficiency in data collection. - Enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
