Investigation of the performance of the General Electric ADVANCE positron emission tomograph in 3D mode

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1109/23.531882· OSTI ID:379757
Performance measurements of the General Electric ADVANCE Positron Emission Tomograph operating with the septa retracted (3D mode) were made. All reconstructions were performed with the GE ADVANCE 3D package. Performance tests were carried out with: the NEMA phantoms; a 3D Hoffman phantom; a Data Spectrum torso phantom with lung and cardiac inserts; and the Utah 3D evaluation phantom. Data collected included: transaxial and axial resolution, uniformity, recovery coefficients, count rate performance, dead time accuracy, and effect of scatter correction.
