About
V. Bexiga is a key figure in the development of dedicated breast imaging technologies, with a primary research focus on Positron Emission Mammography (PEM). Their major contributions center on the Clear-PEM scanner, a pioneering dual-head system that leverages advanced APD-based detector modules. Bexiga’s work was instrumental in demonstrating the scanner’s unique capability to measure depth-of-interaction (DOI) with a resolution of 2 mm in LYSO:Ce crystals, a significant technical achievement that enhances image quality and lesion localization. Their most cited paper, “An overview of the Clear-PEM breast imaging scanner” (2008, 11 citations), provides a comprehensive introduction to this innovative system, while the follow-up “Characterization of the Clear-PEM breast imaging scanner performance” (2009, 8 citations) validates its clinical potential through rigorous performance testing. These contributions have laid critical groundwork for improving early breast cancer detection, showcasing Bexiga’s impact in the niche but vital field of molecular breast imaging. Their work remains a reference point for researchers developing high-resolution, dedicated PET systems.
