Precision PET scanner corrects patient movements, improving accuracy

http://www.hamamatsu.com/jp/en/news/development/20130905000001.html

Japan’s Hamamatsu Photonics and Hamamatsu University School of Medicine are developing a new PET diagnostic system for Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders.  The system combines a tracer that reflects changes in acetylcholine-related cognitive functions and a high-precision brain PET scanner that can correct the movement of a patient’s head.  It is designed to improve the accuracy and overcome the limitations of current systems, which require patients to not move for a long period of time.
