Making the detectors for your PET insert DOI-capable can improve your spatial resolution. But have you ever wondered how that affects your other performance metrics?
We have quantified the effects for several cases suitable for breast & brain PET/MRI inserts!🩻☢️

What an event!
Huge thanks to the organizers and everyone who stopped by to chat and exchange ideas. I’m always excited to bring open, accessible conversations to non-scientific audiences - breaking down the barriers of complex science and medicine.
Truly enjoyed every moment! 😎
