Three-Photon Bayesian Imaging of Ortho-Positronium
L. Raczynski, W. Krzemien, A. Coussat +5
PET provides functional images relying on two-photon coincidences from positron-electron annihilation. In human tissue, about 40\% of annihilations are preceded by Ps formation, of…
A systematic evaluation of machine learning classifiers for event-by-event background rejection in LAFOV PET scanners
Konrad Klimaszewski, Michał Obara, Mateusz Bala +5
The introduction of LAFOV PET scanners brings significant sensitivity gains but also a substantial increase in the background rate from accidental coincidences, phantom-scattered a…
Ortho-Positronium Three-Photon Decays: Physics Constraints and a Closed-Form Energy Method for Annihilation Vertex Reconstruction
L. Raczyński, W. Krzemień, A. Coussat +5
We examine the physical foundations of orthopositronium three-photon decay in the context of annihilation vertex reconstruction, focusing on how energy-momentum conservation constr…
A Monte Carlo positronium decay source model with multiple annihilation channels in GATE
Wojciech Krzemien, Mateusz Bala, Kamil Dulski +7
Positronium-based imaging requires realistic modelling of positronium (Ps) decay in matter. We introduce a modular Ps decay model implemented in GATE 9.4 and GATE 10, enabling the…
Comparative studies of the sensitivities of sparse and full geometries of Total-Body PET scanners built from crystals and plastic scintillators
Meysam Dadgar, Szymon Parzych, Jakub Baran +28
Background: Total-Body imaging offers high sensitivity, single-bed position, and low dose, but high construction costs limit worldwide utilization. This study compares existing and…
J-PET detection modules based on plastic scintillators for performing studies with positron and positronium beams
S. Sharma, J. Baran, R. S. Brusa +33
The J-PET detector, which consists of inexpensive plastic scintillators, has demonstrated its potential in the study of fundamental physics. In recent years, a prototype with 192 p…
Realistic Total-Body J-PET Geometry Optimization -- Monte Carlo Study
Jakub Baran, Wojciech Krzemien, Lech Raczyński +31
Total-Body PET is one of the most promising medical diagnostics modalities. The high sensitivity provided by Total-Body technology can be advantageous for novel tomography methods…
Testing CPT symmetry in ortho-positronium decays with positronium annihilation tomography
Paweł Moskal, Aleksander Gajos, Muhsin Mohammed +35
Charged lepton system symmetry under combined charge, parity, and time-reversal transformation (CPT) remains scarcely tested. Despite stringent quantum-electrodynamic limits, discr…
Feasibility study of the positronium imaging with the J-PET tomograph
P. Moskal, D. Kisielewska, C. Curceanu +27
A detection system of the conventional PET tomograph is set-up to record data from e+ e- annihilation into two photons with energy of 511 keV, and it gives information on the densi…
