Journal ArticleDOI
The positron emission mammography/tomography breast imaging and biopsy system (PEM/PET): design, construction and phantom-based measurements.
Raymond R. Raylman,Stan Majewski,Mark F. Smith,Mark F. Smith,James Proffitt,William Hammond,Amarnath Srinivasan,John McKisson,Vladimir Popov,Andrew G. Weisenberger,Clifford O Judy,Brian Kross,Srikanth Ramasubramanian,Larry E. Banta,Paul E. Kinahan,Kyle Champley +15 more
TL;DR: PEM/PET may be an effective system for the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, according to initial phantom-based testing of the device, which assessed spatial resolution and detection sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous MRI and PET imaging of a rat brain.
Raymond R. Raylman,Stan Majewski,Susan K. Lemieux,S. Sendhil Velan,Brian Kross,Vladimir Popov,Mark F. Smith,Andrew G. Weisenberger,Carl Zorn,Gary Marano +9 more
TL;DR: To test the device, simultaneous MRI and PET images of the brain of a male Sprague Dawley rat injected with FDG were successfully obtained and revealed no noticeable artefacts in either image set.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential role of positron emission mammography for detection of breast cancer. A phantom study
Raymond R. Raylman,Stan Majewski,R. Wojcik,Andrew G. Weisenberger,Brian Kross,Vladimir Popov,Harry A. Bishop +6 more
TL;DR: The addition of the PEM system to a standard biopsy apparatus indicates its potential for use to guide some core biopsies of breast cancers and demonstrates the potential of PEM for the detection of breast lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of dedicated scintimammography procedure using detector prototypes and compressible phantoms
Stanislaw Majewski,D. Kieper,E. Curran,Cynthia Keppel,Brian Kross,A. Palumbo,Vladimir Popov,A.G. Wisenberger,B. Welch,R. Wojcik,Mark B. Williams,Allen R. Goode,M.J. More,G. Zhang +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a matrix of NaI(Tl) scintillator pixels (made by Bicron Corporation) to detect small lesions inserted in gelatin breast phantoms under compression and in a noncompressed SPECT mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous acquisition of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data and positron emission tomography (PET) images with a prototype MR-compatible, small animal PET imager
Raymond R. Raylman,Stan Majewski,S. Sendhil Velan,Susan K. Lemieux,Brian Kross,Vladimir Popov,Mark F. Smith,Andrew G. Weisenberger +7 more
TL;DR: Simultaneous MRS spectra and PET images were successfully acquired from a multi-modality phantom consisting of a sphere filled with 17 brain relevant substances and a positron-emitting radionuclide and no significant changes in MRI or PET scanner performance when both were present in the MRI magnet bore.
