DESCRIPTION:Molecular imaging is aimed at understanding biological process
 es that support life. In this field\, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) d
 edicated to small animal imaging is among the tools of choice. Compared to
  clinical scanners\, small animal PET presents high challenges regarding t
 he spatial resolution and the sensitivity originating from the small size 
 of animal’s organs. On another hand\, the arrival of new radiopharmaceuti
 cals\, which own a high specificity on targeted cells\, necessitate joinin
 g\, to the metabolic image acquired from PET\, an anatomical image in orde
 r to localize the region of interest. Computed tomography (CT) is among th
 ese choices. However\, the dose injected to the small animal must not affe
 cts processes to be studied. The LabPET™ is on a road map that is oriente
 d toward the complete fusion of both PET and low dose CT images using the 
 same detector set and same electronic. The seminar will present the bases 
 that support the LabPET™ design and technological choices made. A wrap-up
  of all technology involved in the LabPET - analog signal processing as we
 ll as real time digital processing – will be exposed for a better underst
 anding to the aims to be reached.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1610/
