GE PETtrace 10 Cyclotron
The GE PETtrace Radiotracer Production System is a compact, automated cyclotron and radiochemistry system designed for the fast, easy, and efficient production of PET radiotracers. The PETtrace System is centered on a compact negative ion cyclotron of proven design. The PETtrace Cyclotron features a vertical mid-plane and can accelerate protons to 16.5 MeV and deuterons to 8.4 MeV of energy. The system can be configured with various targets/process systems for production of common PET radioisotopes. The high performance, flexible design is ideal for applications in a research setting.
The PET isotopes, which can be produced by the PETtrace System, including oxygen-15, nitrogen-13, carbon-11, and fluorine-18, are automatically transferred to the radiochemistry processing systems for efficient conversion into finished radiotracers or precursors for use in preparing other labeled molecules. |

GE 16-slice PET/CT Discovery ST Scanner
The PET/CT Discovery ST Scanner has 24 detector rings that provide 47
contiguous image planes over a maximum 70 cm transaxial field of view
with CT attenuation correction. Axial spatial resolution of this scanner
is 3.27 mm at the center of the gantry. Data acquisition modes include
static, dynamic, whole body, and gated. The room is equipped with
anesthesia gases and exhaust for scavenging the gases. There is a
dedicated viewing area to interpret scans and a data analysis room. In
addition, a dedicated research PACS for PET has been created to store
PET data in DICOM format (images and raw data). |
