Open AccessSystem evaluation of automated production and inhalation of 15O-labeled gaseous radiopharmaceuticals for the rapid 15O-oxygen PET examinations
15O-oxygen inhalation PET is unique in its ability to provide fundamental information regarding cerebral hemodynamics and energy metabolism in man. However, the use of 15O-oxygen has been limited in a clinical en...

Cerebral blood flow and metabolism associated with cerebral microbleeds in small vessel disease
Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), probably reflecting microangiopathy, have not yet sufficiently been examined in association with cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolism. We investigated the relationships between...

Quantification of myocardial blood flow using 201Tl SPECT and population-based input function
Thallium-201 (201Tl) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an important tool in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. Absolute quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) has the potential to...

Open AccessThree-dimensional brain phantom containing bone and grey matter structures with a realistic head contour
A physical 3-dimensional phantom that simulates PET/SPECT images of static regional cerebral blood flow in grey matter with a realistic head contour has been developed. This study examined the feasibility of u...

Open AccessBreath-hold CT attenuation correction for quantitative cardiac SPECT
Attenuation correction of a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) image is possible using computed tomography (CT)-based attenuation maps with hybrid SPECT/CT. CT attenuation maps acquired during ...
