A micro-PET/CT system was developed by combination of an in-house micro-CT and a microPET s R4 scanner. The cone-beam micro-CT consists of a rotational gantry that fits an X-ray tube, a CCD-based X-ray detector, and motor-driven linear stages. The gantry was designed to be coaxial with the scanner o

The performance of a depth-of-interaction preclinical small animal PET scanner (GE eXplore Vista) has been investigated. To this purpose several parameters such as spatial resolution, sensitivity, scatter fraction and noise equivalent counts were measured. Because of the different mean positron rang
Several research groups are pursuing multimodality simultaneous functional and morphological imaging. In this line of research the high resolution YAP-(S)PET small animal integrated PET-SPECT imaging system, constructed by our group of medical physics at the University of Ferrara, is being upgraded
