Abstract During the last years several fractional integrals were investigated. Having this idea in mind, in the present article, some new generalized fractional integral inequalities of the trapezoidal type for λ φ –preinvex functions, which are differentiable and twice...

A novel whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) system based on plastic scintillators is developed by the J-PET Collaboration. It consists of plastic scintillator strips arranged axially in the form of a cylinder, allowing the cost-effective construction of the to...

A detection system of the conventional PET tomograph is set-up to record data from e+ e- annihilation into two photons with energy of 511 keV, and it gives information on the density distribution of a radiopharmaceutical in the body of the object. In this paper we explo...
