STRUCTURED DETECTORS AND DETECTOR SYSTEMS FOR RADIATION IMAGING
Detector module designs for radiographic imaging include first and second layers of scintillator rods or pixel arrays oriented in first and second directions. The first and second directions are transversely oriented to define a light sharing region between the first and second layers. Encoding features may be disposed in, on or between the first and second layers, and configured to modulate propagation of optical signals therealong or therebetween.

Excised specimen imaging using a combined PET and micro CT scanner
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatus for imaging a tissue specimen excised during surgery with a combined positron emission tomography (PET) and micro computed tomography (micro CT) scanner. The specimen is scanned with a CT imaging system of the combined PET and micro CT scanner. The specimen is also scanned with a PET imaging system of the combined PET and micro CT scanner. A PET image is constructed based on data acquired by the PET imaging system. A micro CT image is constructed based on data acquired by the micro CT imaging system. The micro CT image includes at least one visualization of a lesion marker.
MOBILE IMAGING UNIT
A mobile imaging unit configured for transport between a first location and a second location, the mobile imaging unit includes a base configured to rest upon a ground surface that is external to the mobile imaging unit, the base extending from the ground surface to a floor of the mobile imaging unit, a plurality of walls extending upward from the base to define an interior of the mobile imaging unit therebetween, the interior of the mobile imaging unit having an imaging room housing an imaging unit, and a control room having a workstation from which the imaging unit is controllable, wherein the plurality of walls includes a movable wall, a track coupled to the base, and a caster coupled to the movable wall and movable with the wall along the track from a stowed position to an installed position to increase a width of the mobile imaging unit.
NUCLEAR MEDICINE DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS
The nuclear medicine diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes a frame apparatus and a console apparatus. The frame apparatus generates single event data based on annihilation gamma rays emitted from a subject. The console apparatus executes pairing processing to identify a combination of two pieces of the single event data. The pairing processing is executed on the single event data being stored in a first memory and corresponding to a first period of time. The console apparatus deletes the single event data that corresponds to a second period of time in the first period of time, and to which pairing processing has been applied. The console apparatus executes pairing processing on both the single event data corresponding to a third period of time in the first period of time and the single event data corresponding a fourth period of time following the first and third periods of time.
