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…
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…
Development of the normalization method for the first large field-of-view plastic-based PET Modular scanner
A. Coussat, W. Krzemien, J. Baran +4
In positron emission tomography acquisition (PET), sensitivity along a line of response can vary due to crystal geometrical arrangements in the scanner and/or detector inefficienci…
Comparative studies of plastic scintillator strips with high technical attenuation length for the total-body J-PET scanner
L. Kaplon, J. Baran, N. Chug +31
Plastic scintillator strips are considered as one of the promising solutions for the cost-effective construction of total-body positron emission tomography, (PET) system. The purpo…
Non-maximal entanglement of photons from positron-electron annihilation demonstrated using a novel plastic PET scanner
P. Moskal, D. Kumar, S. Sharma +25
In state-of-the-art Positron Emission Tomography (PET), information about annihilation photon polarization is unavailable. Here, we present a PET scanner built from plastic scintil…
Discrete symmetries tested at 10 precision using linear polarization of photons from positronium annihilations
Paweł Moskal, Eryk Czerwiński, Juhi Raj +38
Discrete symmetries play an important role in particle physics with violation of CP connected to the matter-antimatter imbalance in the Universe. We report the most precise test of…
Feasibility studies for imaging ee annihilation with modular multi-strip detectors
S. Sharma, L. Povolo, S. Mariazzi +41
Studies based on imaging the annihilation of the electron (e) and its antiparticle positron (e) open up several interesting applications in nuclear medicine and fundame…

Objective: The aim of this work is to investigate the feasibility of the Jagiellonian Positron Emission Tomography (J-PET) scanner for intra-treatment proton beam range monitoring.…
TOF MLEM Adaptation for the Total-Body J-PET with a Realistic Analytical System Response Matrix
R. Y. Shopa, J. Baran, K. Klimaszewski +32
We report a study of the original image reconstruction algorithm based on the time-of-flight maximum likelihood expectation maximisation (TOF MLEM), developed for the total-body (T…
J-PET detection modules based on plastic scintillators for performing studies with positron and positronium beams
