Positronium imaging with the novel multiphoton PET scanner
Paweł Moskal, Kamil Dulski, Neha Chug +33
In vivo assessment of cancer and precise location of altered tissues at initial stages of molecular disorders are important diagnostic challenges. Positronium is copiously formed i…
The J-PET detector -- a tool for precision studies of ortho-positronium decays
K. Dulski, S. D. Bass, J. Chhokar +41
The J-PET tomograph is constructed from plastic scintillator strips arranged axially in concentric cylindrical layers. It enables investigations of positronium decays by measuremen…
Estimating relationship between the Time Over Threshold and energy loss by photons in plastic scintillators used in the J-PET scanner
S. Sharma, J. Chhokar, C. Curceanu +36
Time-Over-Threshold (TOT) technique is being used widely due to its implications in developing the multi channel readouts mainly when fast signal processing is required. Using TOT…
Performance assessment of the 2 positronium imaging with the total-body PET scanners
P. Moskal, D. Kisielewska, Z. Bura +39
In living organisms the positron-electron annihilation (occurring during the PET imaging) proceeds in about 30% via creation of a metastable ortho-positronium atom. In the tissue,…
Investigations on physical and biological range uncertainties in Krakow proton beam therapy centre
