The ClearPEM-Sonic prototype has been installed and successfully commissioned at Hopital Nord, Marseille. The PEM resolution is close to 1.3 mm. The concept of multimodal image acquisition with ClearPEM and the Aixplorer is verified with dedicated phantoms: ClearPEM- Sonic provides co-registered images acquired with both modalities.
ClearPEM-Sonic is in its first clinical trial. The main goals of this trial on 20 patients are to determine the usability in a clinical environment and to prove that its use does not harm the patient. The preliminary evaluation of patient data shows that if the lesion is within the field-of-view of the detector, it is visible with ClearPEM. The machine proves to be able to detect small lesions that are not visible with whole-body PET. The major limitation is its inability to image the part of the breast closest to the chest wall. A more extensive evaluation is required to assess the impact of this limitation on the global diagnostic value of ClearPEM-Sonic.
