  • Patent number: 11009615
    Abstract: A time of flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET) image (38) is generated from TOF PET imaging data (10) acquired of a subject using a TOF PET imaging data acquisition device (6). Iterative image reconstruction (30) of the TOF PET imaging data is performed with TOF localization of counts along respective lines of response (LORs) to iteratively update a reconstructed image (32). Values for at least one regularization or filtering parameter are assigned to the TOF PET imaging data or to voxels of the reconstructed image based on an estimated TOF localization resolution for the TOF PET imaging data or voxels. Regularization (34) or filtering (36) of the reconstructed image is performed using the assigned values for the at least one regularization or filtering parameter. In some embodiments, the varying TOF localization resolution for the TOF PET imaging data or voxels is estimated based on related acquisition characteristics such as count rates or operating temperature of the detectors.

  • Patent number: 10925554
    Abstract: A radioemission scanner (12) is operated to acquire tomographic radioemission data of a radiopharmaceutical in a subject in an imaging field of view (FOV). An imaging system is operated to acquire extension imaging data of the subject in an extended FOV disposed outside of and adjacent the imaging FOV along an axial direction (18). A distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the subject in the extended FOV is estimated based on the extension imaging data, and further based on a database (32) of reference subjects. The tomographic radioemission data are reconstructed to generate a reconstructed image (26) of the subject in the imaging FOV. The reconstruction includes correcting the reconstructed image for scatter from the extended FOV into the imaging FOV based on the estimated distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the subject in the extended FOV.

  • Patent number: 9834843
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for forming crack-free dielectric films on a substrate. The process comprises the application of a dielectric precursor layer of a thickness from about 0.3 ?m to about 1.0 ?m to a substrate. The deposition is followed by low temperature heat pretreatment, prepyrolysis, pyrolysis and crystallization step for each layer. The deposition, heat pretreatment, prepyrolysis, pyrolysis and crystallization are repeated until the dielectric film forms an overall thickness of from about 1.5 ?m to about 20.0 ?m and providing a final crystallization treatment to form a thick dielectric film. The process provides a thick crack-free dielectric film on a substrate, the dielectric forming a dense thick crack-free dielectric having an overall dielectric thickness of from about 1.5 ?m to about 20.0 ?m.

  • Patent number: 9679705
    Abstract: The present invention provides copper substrate coated with a lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titanium (PLZT) ceramic film, which is prepared by a method comprising applying a layer of a sol-gel composition onto a copper foil. The sol-gel composition comprises a precursor of a ceramic material suspended in 2-methoxyethanol. The layer of sol-gel is then dried at a temperature up to about 250° C. The dried layer is then pyrolyzed at a temperature in the range of about 300 to about 450° C. to form a ceramic film from the ceramic precursor. The ceramic film is then crystallized at a temperature in the range of about 600 to about 750° C. The drying, pyrolyzing and crystallizing are performed under a flowing stream of an inert gas.

    Abstract: The invention provides for A method for producing pure phase strontium ruthenium oxide films, the method comprising solubilizing ruthenium-containing and strontium-containing compounds to create a mixture; subjecting the mixture to a first temperature above that necessary for forming RuO2 while simultaneously preventing formation of RuO2; maintaining the first temperature for a time to remove organic compounds from the mixture, thereby forming a substantially dry film; and subjecting the film to a second temperature for time sufficient to crystallize the film. Also provided is pure phase material comprising strontium ruthenium oxide wherein the material contains no RuO2.

  • Patent number: 9179885
    Abstract: When estimating an arterial input function or a patient under study, cross-calibration factors are generated by comparing nuclear scan data of a radioactive material (e.g., F18) and measuring a sample of the radioactive material in a gamma counter. The derived cross-calibration factors are applied to venous samples collected from the patient during a nuclear scan after infusion with a radioactive tracer, to convert gamma values counted by the gamma counter into concentration values. The concentration values are used to optimize an initial estimated input function, thereby generating an arterialized input function.
