    摘要: A positron emission tomography (PET) technique that can enhance the image resolution and system sensitivity of a clinical PET/CT scanner for imaging a whole body or a target region of a subject is provided. The system includes a detector array and a detector panel. The detector array includes an array of gamma ray detectors defining a field of view of a scanner and configured to detect at least one coincidence event. The detector panel includes an array of gamma ray detectors having a higher intrinsic spatial resolution than the detector array and positioned in closer proximity to a patient table than the detector array. The detector panel is positioned outside the field of view defined by the detector array during at least a portion of scanning by the PET system. The detector panel is configured to detect at least one coincidence event in cooperation with the detector array. The control unit is configured to control the detector array, the detector panel, and the patient bed to operate in cooperation with each other.

    摘要: Users may be presented with different viewing interfaces for a document based on a combination of factors relating to display rights possessed for the document and user specific information. In one implementation, the user's location is used to determine portions of the document that can be displayed to the user. More particularly, access privileges to a document for a user are determined based on geographical location information of the user and based on access rights possessed for the document. Portions of the document may then be formatted for display to the user based on the determined access privileges.

    摘要: A system and method for determination and display of personalized distance. A request is received for the determination of a personalized distance over a network, wherein the request comprises an identification of a requesting user, and a plurality of real world entities comprising at least a starting location and an ending location. At least one route is determined between the first location and the second location. Spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to the requesting user and each real world entity and the route is retrieved using a global index of data available to the network. A personalized distance is calculated via the network between the first location and the second location using spatial, temporal, topical, and social data relating to the requesting user and each real world entity and the route. A representation of the personalized distance calculated for the route is displayed on a display medium.
