Technique Enables More Effective PET Scanning to Detect Cancer, Heart Conditions
A novel technique that reduces image degradation caused by respiratory motion during a positron emission tomography imaging scan was recently developed. The new technique is based on bioimpedance measurement, and it allows for image reconstruction at a specific phase of the patient’s breathing pattern. This, in turn, makes it possible to reduce image degradation caused by motion. More...04 Nov 2014
