The JLab detector is now at the University of Virginia Medical School where it is undergoing tests under the supervision of Dr. Mark Williams, a medical physicist. Dr. David Teats and Dr. Jayashree Parekh of the UVA Radialogy Department are hoping to use the JLab detector in conjunction with a triple head SPECT camera during a patient study they are conducting. The patient study is concerned with evaluating the usefulness of the nuclear medicine techique of scintimammography.
Dr. Jayashree Parekh, a radiologist at the University of Virginia Medical Center is examining the JLab scintimammography detector. This is the white cylindrical object attached to its black gantry arm. In a second photo, Dr. Stan Majewski, a detector physist and the head of the JLab Detector Group, is testing the positioning of the JLab Detector.
These photos show the detector in different orientations. The patient lies face down on the table during the imaging study. content by drew@jlab.org maintained by webmaster@jlab.org |
