Clinical Applications of PET/MRI in Brain Imaging

Computationally Efficient Hybrid Interpolation and Baseline Restoration of the Brain-PET Pulses

“…The recent technological developments in the field of microelectronics have revolutionized the development and deployment of biomedical implants, mobile healthcare, and biomedical scanners. In this framework, a variety of highperformance PET scanners have been proposed and realized during the last decade [1][2][3]. PET imaging is evolving the overall influence of nuclear medicine [1].…”

“…In this framework, a variety of highperformance PET scanners have been proposed and realized during the last decade [1][2][3]. PET imaging is evolving the overall influence of nuclear medicine [1]. It is because of its superior performance, in terms of resolution, compared to the Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).…”

“…It is because of its superior performance, in terms of resolution, compared to the Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Additionally, it is the rapidly growing nuclear diagnostic field [1]. It is a valuable metabolic imaging approach that is probably using the most suitable radiopharmaceutical [1].…”

“…Moreover, PET renders high-quality tomographs, which cannot be attained by SPECT or non-nuclear counterparts [1][2][3]. It has a significant clinical impact, which is evident from a variety of well-conducted case studies.…”

“…Brain-PET scanner is an imaging device used for analysis and observation of the brain metabolic activity [1][2][3]. The concept is to inject a controlled volume of the radioactive tracer into the patient.…”
