🔬 Cubes in Action Excited to share some of the innovative work our customers are doing with our CUBES!   This time, we're highlighting a study by Matthijs Sevenois from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Group (MITH Brussel).   In preclinical quantitative MicroPET/CT imaging, activity meter read-out might pose a challenge to accurate scanner calibration. To obtain reproducible and reliable quantitative imaging, the performance of individual preclinical PET/CT systems (partial volume effect, spillover,…) should be validated for each used radionuclide and incorporated into routine quality control.   This study aimed to compare the quantitative performance of 68Ga and 64Cu in the MOLECUBES β -CUBE and X-CUBE via a NEMA NU 4 phantom and compare activity meter response with an HPGe detector equipped with ISOCS software. MicroPET/CT imaging of 64Cu performs superior to 68Ga due to the impact of the large positron range of Ga68. In general, phantom measurements are necessary to determine the optimal number of iterations and the assessment of the stability of Recovery coefficients for different activity concentrations.   🔍 Interested in more applications like this?
