Positron Emission Tomography

Authors: George Rajna

Researchers at CERN have placed new limits on the timing performance of state-of-the-art systems for time-of-flight positron electron tomography (TOF-PET). [34] Researchers in the US have combined artificial intelligence (AI) with an advanced laser-based imaging technique to create a system that can identify different types of brain cancer from surgical samples with a similar accuracy to pathologists, but much, much faster. [33] Measuring optical blood flow in the resting human brain to detect spontaneous activity has for the first time been demonstrated by Wright State University imaging researchers, holding out promise for a better way to study people with autism, Alzheimer's and depression.
