Hamamatsu develops next-generation PET diagnostic system for investigating brain disorders
OLED displays with tough Bezel
OLED displays. Bezel ST50204 includes a 20 x 4 line alphanumeric display EA W204-XLG and ST50100-3 comes with the 100x32 OLED graphic display. The bezels are impact resistant, sealed for outdoor use, resistant to petrochemicals and most cleaning agents. The scratch resistant anti-reflective window shows off the yellow/green characters on a black background. The displays offer an extreme high contrast ratio of 2000:1 combined with an amazing readability from all angles. Not only are these displays aesthetically pleasing but they also offer many other advantages: very wide operating temperature -40°C to +80°C without any loss of contrast, extremely fast response time of 10 microseconds even at subzero temperatures. The 3-button keypad below the display allows for easy menu navigation. The display is powered from a +3.3V or +5V supply. The display controller for the 20x4 display is based on the HD44780 controller.

amamatsu Photonics K.K. has announced the successful collaboration with researchers from the Hamamatsu University School of Medicine to develop a next-generation PET diagnostic system for investigating Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders. The new system is expected to help physicians determine the correct treatment of various brain disorders, which has become an urgent issue in Japan due to the rising numbers among its aging population of patients with cognitive disorders, bipolar disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease. The new PET diagnostic system is the world’s first combination of a newly-developed tracer that reflects changes in acetylcholine-related cognitive functions and a new high-precision brain PET scanner that can correct the movement of a patient’s head. This combination is designed to overcome the limitations of current systems in measuring the brain physiology of severely impaired patients, due to the current requirement for patients to stay still for a long time during scanning. Today,
H little is known about the
pathophysiological states in the brains of severely affected patients in vivo. The new system will help clinical researchers see new details, and thus contribute not only to the selection of appropriate treatment for individual patients regardless of their severities, but also to the future development of new drugs and new treatments for various neurological and psychiatric disorders.
