Evaluation of Scatter Fraction (sf) of a 16-ring Positron Emission Tomography (pet) System
Scatter fraction (SF) characteristic of a newly constructed 16-ring PET system with a FOV of 20 cm was experimentally evaluated in 2D acquisition mode (ring difference ≤ 3) but without septa, using a 10 cm diameter phantom. The scatter fraction measured from the backprojected images and the sinogram data aiming to find the discrepancy between the two approaches and to test the camera performanc...
متن کاملThe effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide. There are certain limitations to this technique such as normal tissue uptake. Therefore, it has been recommended that patients prepare before scanning. Fasting for a short while before PET imaging is an exampl...

متن کاملPositron emission tomography (PET) evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
BACKGROUND aneurysmal disease is associated with an inflammatory cell infiltrate and enzymatic degradation of the vessel wall. AIM OF THE STUDY to detect increased metabolic activity in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) by means of positron emission tomography (PET-imaging). STUDY DESIGN twenty-six patients with AAA underwent PET-imaging. RESULTS in ten patients, PET-imaging revealed incre...
