A PET CAMERA WITH INDIVIDUALLY ROTATABLE DETECTOR MODULES AND/OR INDIVIDUALLY MOVABLE SHIELDING SECTIONS

摘要

Systems and methods are described for a positron emission tomography camera with individually rotatable detector modules and/or individually movable shielding sections. An apparatus, includes a detector ring including a plurality of individually movable detector modules. Another apparatus, includes a radiation shield including a plurality of individually moveable shield sections. A method, includes generating an emission image of a sample; generating a transmission image of said sample while generating said emission image of said sample; and then correcting said emission image with said transmission image.
