Abstract:
Following successful performance testing and human imaging of a prototype PennPET Explorer, the scanner has been expanded to a current axial field of view of 1.12 m. Initial studies on this instrument have demonstrated encouraging results for total-body positron emission tomography imaging. Planned studies will test the capabilities of the PennPET Explorer further and inform the design of further human imaging protocols.
