SPATIAL RESOLUTION PERFORMANCE OF WHOLE-BODY LSO PET/CT SCANNER
Keywords:
LSO, PET/CT, Biograph 16 HI-REZAbstract
Spatial resolution of Biograph 16 HI-REZ PET/CT system has been performed following the NEMA NU 2-2001 protocols. Three types of point source made with capillary tube, tiny foam bead, and ion exchanged resin were used for this purpose. ImageJ software was used to analyze the reconstruction image on PC. The results from three types of point source were in acceptance limit. In this study, point source made with resin was easy to be prepared and small size for spatial resolution performance.
