The Sydney Imaging Core Research Facility at The University of Sydney, in partnership with Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) and the National Imaging Facility (NIF), has established a Total Body PET facility in the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Royal North Shore Hospital. The Better Healthcare Technology Foundation follows NIF newsletters with the intention of passing Read more…
This work was to develop a reconstruction method for theranostic dosimetry by improving the spatial resolution and noise properties of reconstructed SPECT images (SPECTRE). Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is commonly used to evaluate the radiation dose delivered to target structures and normal organs in radionuclide therapy (RNT). But Read more…
Researchers and patients alike are benefiting from a new imaging technology called ‘Long Axial Field of View (FOV) Positron Emission Tomography’, also known as ‘Total-Body PET (TB-PET)’. This technology advance enables molecular imaging studies to be performed at ultrahigh sensitivity, i.e. an order of magnitude or more higher sensitivity than Read more…
Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is commonly used to evaluate the radiation dose delivered to target structures and normal organs in radionuclide therapy (RNT). SPECT imaging is hindered by poor spatial resolution, making it difficult to accurately quantify the dose delivered to target cancer lesions. This has, in part, Read more…
