New portable PET technology guides procedures with real-time imaging

Yuan-Chuan Tai, PhD, senior author, Washington University in St. LouisA portable PET device with real-time imaging capability could bring vast information and benefits from molecular imaging to interventional radiology procedures. To address this unmet need, we developed a portable point-of-care PET system with a robotic arm that can position detector panels at arbitrary locations to image any organ of interest."
