A system for analyzing radiochemical purity of an eluate produced from a generator is provided. The system has an elution detector made of a shielding metal. The elution detector houses a flow path template for flow of an eluate solution and an elutable isotope contained in the generator, and a monitoring device for simultaneously monitoring the generator and the eluate exiting the generator. The generator is a Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) generator, and the elutable isotope may be contained in a packed bed of a column in the Tc-99m generator. A method for analyzing radiochemical purity of eluate produced from a Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) generator or column is also provided.

Systems and methods for tissue discrimination are disclosed. The systems and the methods utilize coded x-ray beams. Transmission signals and scatter signals are utilized to determine tissue properties.

This X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, an arm, an arm driving mechanism, an X-ray detector moving mechanism, a bed, and a control unit. The control unit performs control of a position adjustment operation for adjusting a position of the X-ray detector such that a distance from a surface of a subject model serving as a model of a surface shape of the subject to the X-ray detector becomes a predetermined distance by moving the X-ray detector toward or away from the surface of the subject model.

Proposed is an apparatus for verifying a radiation dose using a patient-specific tumor-shaped scintillator including a probe adapter to which a 3D tumor-shaped scintillator having a guide is attached; a receiving portion to which the probe adapter is detachably coupled; a light guide which extends from the receiving portion and includes optical fiber transmitting visible light generated by irradiating radiation in the 3D tumor-shaped scintillator; a photomultiplier tube converting the visible light transmitted from the light guide into an electric signal and amplifying the converted electric signal; and a current electrometer measuring an output current by inputting the electric signal of the photomultiplier tube.

An imaging system comprises a plurality of imaging detectors for acquiring imaging data. The plurality of imaging detectors is configurable to be arranged proximate to an anatomy of interest within a patient. Each of the plurality of imaging detectors has a field of view (FOV) and at least a portion of the plurality of imaging detectors image the anatomy of interest within the respective FOV. A processor receives the imaging data and processes the imaging data to form a multi-dimensional dataset having at least three dimensions.

For dead time determination for a gamma camera or other detector, a long-lived point source of emissions is positioned so that the gamma camera detects the emissions from the source while also being used to detect emissions from the patient. The long-lived point source, in the scan time, acts as a fixed frequency source of emissions, allowing for dead time correction measurements that include the crystal detector effects.

A PET detecting module may include a scintillator array configured to receive a radiation ray and generate optical signals in response to the received radiation ray. The scintillator array may have a plurality of rows of scintillators arranged in a first direction and a plurality of columns of scintillators arranged in a second direction. A first group of light guides may be arranged on a top surface of the scintillator array along the first direction. The light guide count of the first group of light guides may be less than the row count of the plurality of rows of scintillators. A second group of light guides may be arranged on a bottom surface of the scintillator array. The light guide count of the second group of light guides may be less than the column count of the plurality of columns of scintillators.
