DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Stefaan Vandenberghe\; Ghent University\, Belgium ()
 \nThe first Total Body PET scanner have been installed in several (>10) in
 stitutions in Europe despite its high acquisition price of 8-10 MEuro. The
  first experiences of these groups have been closely followed and importan
 t conclusions are:\n•Scan times of 15 sec to 1 min deliver excellent qua
 lity for standard doses (used on nowadays standard short axial FOV)\n•Da
 ta handling and size are challenges due to the very high sensitivity\n•P
 atient throughput is potentially high (one patient every 3 min) not limite
 d anymore by the scan time but mostly by patient handling and a shortage o
 f personnel\n\nAlso in the clinical world there are gradual changes ongoin
 g and expected. PET is not only used for detection but more and more for (
 expensive) therapy prediction and follow-up. There will be more and more s
 elected screening based on genetic information\, blood test and/or patient
  history. Even with selected screening there will be a high number of pati
 ents and repeat scans. Patients will also quite often healthy (or in an ea
 rly stage of cancer).\n\nThis change in the patient population and clinica
 l needs can be dealt with PET scanners with the following properties\n•L
 ower dose imaging (healthy patients)\n•Faster imaging + higher throughpu
 t\n•Lower cost imaging (systems + procedure)\n•Less personnel per scan
  (shortage of personnel)\n\nTherefore we redesigned TB-PET towards a fast 
 technique with high throughput. Using the latest monolithic detector techn
 ology we propose a new design\, departing from the classical patient posit
 ioning on a bed. We propose an upright scanner (similar to airports mm-wav
 e scanners or planar X-ray) using TOF technology. This optimises detector 
 area and avoids time consuming patient positioning.\n\nThe following key e
 lements enable such a design:\n•The presence of TOF gives us direct tomo
 graphic information and obviates the need for complete coverage of the pat
 ient.\n•Scatter and attenuation correction can be done with Deep learnin
 g\n•CT can be avoided and leads to lower dose to the patient\n•The siz
 e of the detectors is based on measurement from a PET patient population\n
 \nThe main benefits of this design regarding cost and performance are:\n
 •We need 1.9 x less detector surface for the same axial FOV (due to clos
 e detectors)\n•The effective sensitivity is higher as there are more obl
 ique incidences with flat panels\n•Monolithic detector technology (High 
 resolution + Depth of interaction) enables system resolution below 2mm (ov
 er the whole FOV).\n\nFinally the potential clinical throughput\, patient 
 experiencse and patient motion was evaluated using a first mockup flat pan
 el scanner in a NM department.\n\nhttps://indico.koza.if.uj.edu.pl/event/7
