ABSTRACTIn this study, we report developments towards the application of large zeolite particles, with diameter ca. 40 μm, as tracers in Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) imaging using 68Ga. The influence of intrapore Na+ and TEA+ (tetraethylammonium) cation concentrations and framework Si/Al ratio on the morphology of mordenite particles has been investigated, advancing understanding of the relationship between these factors. Moreover, the influence of ethanol concentration in the gel during aging on intrapore cation concentration, Si/Al ratio and particle morphology has also been investigated. Additionally, facile ion-exchange between aqueous Ga3+ and intrapore H+ in mordenite has been demonstrated. The influence of pH and gallium speciation on ion-exchange has been investigated to determine favourable conditions for 68Ga3+ uptake by the zeolite.

Particle Localization

In this work, we present a 3D single-particle tracking system that can apply tailored sampling patterns to selectively extract photons that yield the most information for particle localization. We demonstrate that off-center sampling at locations predicted by Fisher information utilizes photons most efficiently. When performing localization in a single dimension, optimized off-center sampling patterns gave doubled precision compared to uniform sampling. A ~20% increase in precision compared to uniform sampling can be achieved when a similar off-center pattern is used in 3D localization. Here, we systematically investigated the photon efficiency of different emission patterns in a diffraction-limited system and achieved higher precision than uniform sampling. The ability to maximize information from the limited number of photons demonstrated here is critical for particle tracking applications in biological samples, where photons may be limited.
