  • Title: A positron emission tomograph to study brain metabolism in man.
    Author: Garnett ES, Nahmias C, Kenyon DB, Firnau G.
    Journal: J Can Assoc Radiol; 1982 Sep; 33(3):172-5. PubMed ID: 6982899.
    Abstract:
    The construction of a single ring positron emission tomograph with which to examine the brain is described. The ring comprises 160 bismuth germanate detectors that are not separated from each other by high Z septa. The thickness of the slice examined is 2 cm and the inherent resolution is 7 mm in the plane. The performance of the tomograph and representative clinical studies are illustrated.
