3D PET image reconstruction based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method (MLEM) algorithm
Artur Słomski, Zbigniew Rudy, Tomasz Bednarski +23
Positron emission tomographs (PET) do not measure an image directly. Instead, they measure at the boundary of the field-of-view (FOV) of PET tomograph a sinogram that consists of m…
Plastic scintillators for positron emission tomography obtained by the bulk polymerization method
Łukasz Kapłon, Andrzej Kochanowski, Marcin Molenda +24
This paper describes three methods regarding the production of plastic scintillators. One method appears to be suitable for the manufacturing of plastic scintillator, revealing pro…
A pilot study of the novel J-PET plastic scintillator with 2-(4-styrylphenyl)benzoxazole as a wavelength shifter
