Description

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a highly sensitive molecular imaging technique capable of measuring biochemical and metabolic processes in living organisms. It plays an important role in the early diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of diseases, especially tumors, cardiovascular diseases and neurological diseases. In view of the urgent needs of drug development and neuroscience for the high resolution and efficiency of PET in small animals and the urgent need for high-definition images of PET in clinical practice, this report mainly discusses the methods of improving the performance of PET system from the aspects of PET detector resolution improvement method and TOF technology. The development of detectors for medical imaging is a dynamic and evolving field. Noble gas detectors, in particular, offer a range of unique properties that can be harnessed to enhance the capabilities of medical imaging systems. The utilization of noble gases in detectors is opening new avenues for the early and precise diagnosis of various medical conditions, including cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.
