 note = {The OpenPET geometry, which visualizes a physically opened space between two detector rings, is our new idea to enable PET imaging during radiation therapy. In particular, OpenPET is expected to realize in-beam 3D PET, which is a method for an in situ monitoring of charged particle therapy, by letting the beams pass through the gap. Chasing a moving target such as a tumor in the lung will also become possible if the real-time image reconstruction becomes available. In addition, real-time monitoring of therapeutic gain might be possible in the future when a new PET tracer that quickly responds to radiotherapy is developed. In this paper, we designed and developed the first prototype of the OpenPET for a proof-of-concept. The prototype system was designed mainly for three purposes: (1) to provide an initial demonstration of the OpenPET concept; (2) to acquire basic parameters to design human-size in-beam OpenPET; and (3) to carry out an experimental study of tumor response to radiotherapy in small animals., SNM 2010 Annual Meeting},
