Experimental determination of the Dalitz plot for positronium decay using the J-PET detection system
Magdalena Skurzok, Steven D. Bass, Kamila Kasperska +37
We present the first measurements of the Dalitz plot for ortho-positronium annihilation to three photons. Our measurements, accurate to about 3% statistical and 2-3% systematic unc…
First-in-human quantum entanglement imaging
Pawel Moskal, Deepak Kumar, Sushil Sharma +37
Annihilation photons are quantum-entangled in polarization, a phenomenon that has not been exploited in medical diagnostics so far. We present the first in vivo imaging of the degr…
First Positronium Lifetime Imaging using Mn and Co with a plastic-based PET scanner
Manish Das, Sushil Sharma, Ermias Yitayew Beyene +45
Positronium Lifetime Imaging (PLI) extends positron emission tomography by using the lifetime of positronium atoms as a probe of tissue molecular architecture. In this work, we rep…
First ex-vivo positronium imaging of tissues with modular J-PET scanner using Sc radionuclide
Karol Kubat, Manish Das, Sushil Sharma +41
This study presents the first ex-vivo positronium imaging of human tissues using the modular J-PET scanner with the Sc radionuclide. The Sc isotope was produced via t…
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…
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…
