Innovation Summary:
This invention presents a system for simultaneous emission and transmission imaging in PET/CT scanners. It features a rotating source and detector configuration that enables concurrent acquisition of PET and CT data. This design improves image registration, reduces scan time, and enhances workflow efficiency. The system is engineered for seamless integration into hybrid imaging platforms.

Challenges / Opportunities:
PET/CT imaging traditionally requires sequential scans, which can lead to misalignment and longer procedures. This invention addresses those limitations by enabling simultaneous data acquisition. It opens opportunities for faster, more accurate hybrid imaging in oncology, cardiology, and neurology.

Key Benefits / Advantages:
✔ Simultaneous imaging reduces scan time and improves alignment
✔ Enhanced workflow efficiency and patient throughput
✔ Improved accuracy by minimizing motion artifacts and registration errors
✔ Compatible with existing PET/CT platforms

Applications:
• Oncology staging and monitoring
• Cardiac perfusion imaging
• Neurological diagnostics
• Hybrid imaging system development
