Quantitative Imaging of Scandium Isotopes with a Long Axial Field-of-View PET/CT
Lorenzo Mercolli, Mohammadreza Teimoorisichani, Alenka E. Gaschen +4
Objective. Sc and Sc are positron-emitting isotopes of scandium that have attracted growing interest for theranostic applications in conjunction with the therapeutic…
Can Ac be imaged on a long axial field-of-view PET/CT with standard clinical settings?
Lorenzo Mercolli
Purpose: The Ac decay chain includes Tl, whose prominent 1567 keV gamma line can create electron-positron pairs. We investigated whether a long axial field-of-view…
Terbium-149 PET/CT: First Quantitative Imaging with a Clinical Long-Axial Field-of-View Scanner
Lorenzo Mercolli, Pascal V. Grundler, Anzhelika N. Moiseeva +4
Introduction: Terbium-149 (Tb) is a promising radionuclide for targeted therapy that has a non-zero branching ratio (BR) for positron decay. However, its relatively low…
Beam Energy Measurement using a Bayesian Approach with the Stacked Foil Method
Alexander Gottstein, Lorenzo Mercolli, Eva Kasanda +7
We present a practical method to measure the energy of proton beams at a medical cyclotron using the stacked foil technique in combination with a Bayesian inference method. By meas…
First Positronium Lifetime Imaging with Scandium-44 on a Long Axial Field-of-view PET/CT
Lorenzo Mercolli, William M. Steinberger, Pascal V. Grundler +12
Purpose: 44Sc has been successfully produced, synthesized, labeled and first-in-human studies were conducted some years ago. The decay properties of 44Sc, together with being close…
Positronium Lifetime Imaging with the Biograph Vision Quadra using 124I
Lorenzo Mercolli, William M. Steinberger, Narendra Rathod +7
Purpose: Measuring the ortho-positronium (oPs) lifetime in human tissue bears the potential of adding clinically relevant information about the tissue microenvironment to conventio…
Methodology for measuring photonuclear reaction cross sections with an electron accelerator based on Bayesian analysis
Saverio Braccini, Pierluigi Casolaro, Gaia Dellepiane +6
Accurate measurements of photonuclear reaction cross sections are crucial for a number of applications, including radiation shielding design, absorbed dose calculations, reactor ph…
