Abstract
using different phantoms with variation of energy window parameters and reconstruction algorithms, various variables related to the performance of a dual head PET camera were better characterized. As a result acquisition protocols using stringent energy window settings for brain imaging with 18F-FDG with improved image quality along with fine tuning of patient injected dose for optimal acquisition were defined. Furthermore the characterization of camera performance with regard to the detection of small hot and cold lesions, scattering problems and other pitfalls contributed to a better interpretation of clinical data.
