Gesellschaft für Forschungs- und
Entwicklungsservice mbH
GFE delivers physical-technical
RD-services.   Our goal ist to apply and
transfer key-technologies especially from GSI
developed methods, techniques and qualifications.

Positron Emission Tomography

• Uses 18F (ß-Emitter, ?110 minutes)
• 18F is attached to tracer (Glucose)
• Glucose is enriched in body parts with high
  energy intake
• Tumors need much energy to grow fast

Summary

• No redundance of application sourcecode for
  simulation
• Easy adaption of scenarios through text files
• Use of ROOT for presentation of analysis results
