BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dual-head coincidence gamma camera (DHC) imaging
has been proposed as an alternative to dedicated ring-detector positron emission …

Interest in clinical fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging with multiple‐head gamma cameras is
growing. To improve sensitivity, triple‐head coincidence imaging has been proposed. We …

Glucose is the main metabolic substrate of the brain and its oxidation produces the amount
of energy that is necessary for adequate cerebral activity. The PET tracer 18F …

Purpose In this study, the contribution of the transaxial, coronal, and sagittal planes in
evaluations of regional cerebral glucose metabolism was investigated in healthy volunteers …

Interest in clinical fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging with dual-headed gamma cameras
continues to grow. In 1996, Jarritt and Acton published a review article of the use of gamma …

The authors' goal was to show the importance of starting scanning at a uniform time after F-
18 fluorodeoxyglucose injection in positron emission tomography (PET) brain study. Method …

Hypoglycemia affects normal brain functionality [1]. There is growing interest about the
effects of hypoglycemia in the brain of people affected by diabetes. Insulin-induced severe …

Glucose is the principal source of energy for the brain and yet the dynamic response of
glucose utilization to changes in brain activity is still not fully understood. Positron emission …

The images were reconstructed in the normal mode, using photopeak/photopeak,
photopeak/Compton andCompton/photopeak coincidence events. Results: Although the …
