  • System and method of positron emission tomography with two axes of rotation
    Patent number: 11000240
    Abstract: System of positron emission tomography to obtain images of a subject, which comprehends: one first fixed axis of rotation; one second axis of rotation substantially parallel to the first axis, in which the second axis is rotatable around the first axis at a predefined distance; one element of support rotatably coupled to the second axis; one pair of scintillators fixed to the element of support, said pair being collinear and aligned along the same longitudinal axis; two photomultipliers, each optically coupled to one of the scintillators; in which the element of support has a free region between the pair of scintillators to receive the subject to be imaged.
    Type: Grant
