A mobile PET scanner for use in bed side or a surgical environment comprises a mobile support base, with first and a second arm arms extending therefrom. The first arm is configured for placement under a table supporting an individual while the second arm is substantially parallel to and above said first arm with the individual being located between the first and second arms. Multiple module blocks are positioned along the length of the first and second arm. Each modules block comprises scintillators with solid state silicone multipliers or multi-pixel photon counters attached thereto. Positrons emitted from radiation labeled tissue within the individual's body impinge on the multiple scintillators to generate. The photons from each of the scintillator are received by each of a solid state silicone multipliers or multi-pixel photon counters associated therewith and an electrical signal representative of the received photons is then generated. The electrical signal output from each of the solid state silicone multipliers or multi-pixel photon counters is then transmitted to a computerized data collection and analysis system, which substantially instantaneously generates a visual image on a screen showing the location within the individuals body emitted the photons. This image can be coordinated with a photo image or a CT image showing the same portion of the individual's body. |
