SPECIMEN CHAMBER FOR OPTICAL IMAGING OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS

摘要

An apparatus for optical imaging of Cerenkov luminescence from a region of interest on a subject subsequent to the subject receiving a dose of a radiopharmaceutical, the apparatus comprising: an imaging means capable of imaging Cerenkov photons; a fibrescope for transmitting light received at a distal end of the fibrescope to a proximal end of the fibrescope, the proximal end of the fibrescope being connected to the imaging means; and an optical shroud for surrounding the distal end of the fibrescope and for covering a region of interest.
