Abstract
Various embodiments of medical detector systems as well as their methods of operation are disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more detectors are coupled to wearable structures for detecting at least a first tracer within a body portion. In another embodiment, one or more detectors are coupled to a wearable structure, where the detector corresponds to a CMOS chip that directly detects a first radioactive tracer.
Claims33
A medical detector system comprising:
- at least a first wearable structure;
- one or more first detectors coupled to the at least first wearable structure such that the one or more first detectors are positioned proximate to a head of a subject when the at least first wearable structure is worn by the subject, wherein the one or more first detectors detect a first tracer within a brain of the subject;
- one or more second detectors coupled to the at least first wearable structure such that the one or more second detectors are positioned proximate to the spine of a subject when the at least first wearable structure is worn by the subject, wherein the one or more second detectors detect the first tracer within the spine of the subject.
A medical detector system comprising:
- a wearable structure;
- at least three detectors coupled to the wearable structure such that the at least three detectors are positioned proximate to a spine of a subject when the wearable structure is worn by the subject, wherein the at least three detectors are distributed along a length of the spine from and/or between a lumbar cistern and a cisterna magna of the subject, wherein the at least three detectors detect a first tracer within the spine of the subject.
A medical detector system comprising:
- a wearable structure for wearing on a subject's torso;
- a plurality of detectors coupled to the wearable structure such that the plurality of detectors extend along a spine of the subject when the wearable structure is worn by the subject, wherein the plurality of detectors detect a first tracer within the spine of the subject;
- one or more adjustment devices that maintain the plurality of detectors proximate to the spine of the subject when the wearable structure is worn by the subject.
