Performance of Philips Gemini TF PET/CT Scanner with Special Consideration for Its Time-of-Flight Imaging Capabilities

Suleman Surti, +5 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: The Gemini TF whole-body scanner represents the first commercially available fully 3-dimensional PET scanner that achieves time-of-flight capability as well as conventional imaging capabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of time-of-flight benefit for fully 3-DPET

Suleman Surti, +4 more
- 01 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: The results show that scan times can be reduced in a time-of-flight (TOF) fully three-dimensional whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanner to achieve images similar to those from a non-TOF scanner, or improved image quality achieved for same scan times.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of a fully 3D single scatter simulation algorithm for 3D PET

Roberto Accorsi, +3 more
- 21 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of SSS predictions with Monte Carlo simulations and experimental data from uniform, line and cold-bar phantoms showed that the code is accurate for uniform as well as asymmetric objects and can model different energy resolution crystals and low level discriminator (LLD) settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

The imaging performance of a LaBr3-based PET scanner

Margaret E. Daube-Witherspoon, +7 more
- 07 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: Preliminary results with incorporation of a model of detector blurring in the iterative reconstruction algorithm not only show improved contrast recovery but also point out the importance of an accurate resolution model of the tails of LaBr(3)'s point spread function.
Journal ArticleDOI

PennPET Explorer: Design and Preliminary Performance of a Whole-Body Imager

Joel S. Karp, +9 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The physical performance measurements validated the system design and led to high-quality human studies, and validation of lesion torso phantoms to characterize quantitative accuracy, human studies were performed on healthy volunteers.
