PET imager prostate dedicated mobile high-resolution transrectal probe insertable

摘要

A PET image generator (40) Mobile dedicated to generate images of the prostate (50) and surrounding organs in a patient (46) comprising: a patient bed (47) to accept the patient; a rotating open trestle (51) to provide three-dimensional images torso-wide prostate (50) and surrounding tissue and organs, said stand being pivotally mounted about said patient bed; a generator outer PET images of high resolution (41), adapted to be placed near the patient's torso, wherein said generator outer PET imaging includes two detectors mechanically individual modules (43) fixed to said rotary stand by above the patient bed, and two detectors mechanically individual modules (44) fixed to said rotary stand beneath the patient's bed; probe PET transrectal compact insertable (42), adapted to be placed in the patient in close proximity to the prostate, wherein said transrectal probe PET, in coincidence with the external image generator PET, is configured to provide at least resolution two-dimensional reconstruction of 1.0 to 1.5 mm, on the small field of view transrectal probe PET, wherein said outer PET imager and said transrectal probe PET are spatial coincidence with each other ; and data acquisition system of high speed, to collect data simultaneously from said external image generator PET and PET said transrectal probe; wherein a distance between the two mechanically individual detector modules (43) fixed above the patient bed (47) and the two mechanically individual detector modules (44) fixed below the patient's bed can be adjusted to placing said detector modules (43, 44) as close as possible the patient's body.
