Multi-pinhole collimator design in different numbers of projections for brain SPECT by Wenbo Huang, Greta S. P. Mok, Greta S. P. Mok

“…The 3D NURBS-based HUman Brain (NHUB) phantom was used in the analytical simulation to model 99mTc-HMPAO and 99mTc-TRODAT distributions. The 2D Derenzo hot-rod phantom and star phantom were used in Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the spatial resolution and angular sampling performance of MPH. …”

Image quality evaluation for a clinical organ-targeted PET camera by Brandon Baldassi, Harutyun Poladyan, Anirudh Shahi, Henry Maa-Hacquoil, Madeline Rapley, Borys Komarov, Justin Stiles, Vivianne Freitas, Vivianne Freitas, Michael Waterston, Olexiy Aseyev, Alla Reznik, Alla Reznik, Oleksandr Bubon, Oleksandr Bubon, Oleksandr Bubon

“…Recovery coefficients were measured to be 0.21 for the 1 mm hot rod and up to 0.89 for the 5 mm hot rod of NEMA NU-4 Image Quality phantom.DiscussionDemonstrated ability to accurately reconstruct activity in tumors as small as 5 mm suggests that the Radialis PET technology may be well suited for emerging clinical applications such as image guided assessment of response to neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NST) in lesions smaller than 2 cm. …”

Observations on the Chinese idea of fate by Gunnar Sjöholm

“…An oracular technique had been developed, "which consisted in touching shells or bones on one side with a little red-hot rod and interpreting according to certain patterns the cracks that arose on the other side as the answers of the ancestral spirits to the questions of the kings. …”

Quarter-Millimeter-Resolution Molecular Mouse Imaging with U-SPECT by Oleksandra Ivashchenko, Frans van der Have, Jose L. Villena, Harald C. Groen, Ruud M. Ramakers, Harrie H. Weinans, Freek J. Beekman

“…The reconstructed spatial resolution (the smallest visible capillary diameter in a hot-rod resolution phantom) was 0.25 mm. Knee joint images show tiny structures such as the femur epicondyle sulcus, as well as a clear separation between cortical and trabecular bone structures. …”

Performance evaluation of a preclinical SPECT/CT system for multi-animal and multi-isotope quantitative experiments by Elena Prieto, Leticia Irazola, María Collantes, Margarita Ecay, Teresa Cuenca, Josep Mª Martí-Climent, Iván Peñuelas

“…The performance of the SPECT was evaluated for two collimators dedicated for mouse (UHS-M) and rat imaging (UHR-RM) in terms of sensitivity, energy resolution, uniformity and spatial resolution. Point sources, hot‑rod and uniform phantoms were scanned, and additional tests were carried out to evaluate singular settings such as simultaneous multi-isotope acquisition and imaging with a multi-bed system. …”
