  • Patent number: 9903963
    Abstract: The present invention relates the system of the correction of energy crosstalk in dual-isotopes simultaneous acquisition (DISA), the system includes a collimator, a metal thin film, a detecting unit, an analyzing unit and a display unit for analyzing energy distribution charts of the dual-isotopes, and using specific equations or artificial neural network methods or independent component analysis to compare the energy distribution charts which are with and without metal thin film The invention uses the metal thin film to remove the energy contamination from dual-isotopes simultaneous acquisition whose photopeak energies are close, the invention effectively separates the energy distribution charts without energy crosstalk, therefore, the system improves diagnostic imaging and relieves patient's discomfort.

  • Patent number: 9223747
    Abstract: The invention provides a system for reusing triple event data of PET. The system includes an input unit, a determining unit, and an output unit. A plurality of data is generated by an object undergoing the PET scan, and the input unit is used to receive the data. The determining unit is used to determine the data and pick out data corresponding to triple event from the data and according to a formula to pick out data corresponding to coincident event from the data corresponding to triple event. In other words, the determining unit picks out data corresponding to true triple event from the data to reuse and analyze the data corresponding to coincident event and further to generate an analysis result. The output unit is used to output the analysis result.

  • Publication number: 20100294941
    Abstract: A dual photons emission computed tomography (DuPECT) system is provided. The present invention uses certain isotopes that emit at least two photons during the decay for the purpose of emission source positioning. The system includes a plurality of modular detectors connected to a coincident circuit, and each modular detector is equipped with a collimator to determine the direction of the incident photon trajectory. When the modular detectors simultaneously detect the signals of two photons issued by the isotopes, the source position is located at the intersection of the trajectories of two photons. The modular detectors can be arranged around the object to be detected according to the shape of the object and is particularly suitable for imagining of regional organs and small animals.
