A good alternative to pure liquid argon (LAr) in scintillation detectors is Xenon-doped liquid argon. By doping the LAr with xenon, the long-lifetime component of the LAr scintillation light can be suppressed, allowing for the scanner to handle higher data rates, and hence higher patient doses, if required for a given application. Also, the most modern photosensors to date have very low...

26. Liquid xenon for nuclear medical imaging: outlooks on instrumentation

Marc-André Tétrault (Université de Sherbrooke)

The Light only Liquid Xenon (LoLX) collaboration is a multidisciplinary R&D effort aiming to finely characterize LXe’s properties and that of modern photosensors adapted to its short scintillation wavelength. The end target is to provide in-depth information on this radiation detection medium and modern instrumentation for their application in several fields such as astroparticle physics...

13. Overview and Status of the PETALO project

Carmen Romo-Luque (Universidad de Valencia)

PETALO (Positron Emission TOF Apparatus with Liquid xenOn) is a new concept in the field of Medical Imaging aiming to demonstrate that liquid xenon (LXe) together with a SiPM-based readout and fast electronics, provide a significant improvement in PET-TOF technology. Liquid xenon allows a continuous medium with a high stopping power for 511-keV gammas as well as a uniform response avoiding...

30. The XEMIS project, a three gamma imaging detector for medical applications

nicolas beaupere ( Subatech, IMT Atlantique - Nantes University - CNRS/IN2P3, 4 rue Alfred Kastler, la Chantrerie, 44307 Nantes, France)

The XEMIS project (XEnon for Medical Imaging System) aims to use the single phase liquid xenon technology and (β+,γ) radioactive emitters to make functional medical images. Compare to conventional imaging system, a hundred fold reduction of injected activity with the same image resolution is expected.

This project is divided into three main stages. Stage one, XEMIS1, demonstrated the...
