Spatial resolution is determined by
- size detector elements
- filters applied in the reconstruction process
In practise:
4 - 7 mm FWHM, depending on scanner
sometimes ~ 10 mm FWHM due to filters used
(RAT-PET: 1 - 2 mm FWHM)

Fundamental Limitations in Spatial Resolution
- Range of the positronsThe mean range varies from 0.6 mm (18F), 1.1 mm(11C), 1.5 mm (13N) to 2.5 mm (15O) or 5.9 mm(82Rb)- Non-zero momentum at moment of annihilationFinite angular width of 0.5o FWHM about themean angle of 180o

LSO has a short decay ---> high count rate capabilityN.B.: Electronics should be adapted
By adapting the FDG dose a higher throughputcan be realized
N.B.: In 3-D the patient size will influence scatterfraction and so the NEC-rate curve

Data reconstruction
Data is generated by measuring accordingprojection lines, line integrals
Basic reconstruction is Filtered Back Projection(FBP) according to mathematics described byRadon (1917)
Maximum Likelyhood Expectation Maximization(ML-EM) is a iterative method that maximizes theprobability of the reconstructed image for a givenset of measured projection data.
Dept. of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging, University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlandsdatu
m
Data reconstruction
In PET ML-EM is successful because of Poissonstatistics
Problem of iterative methods: NO objectivestopping criterium and procedure will easygenerate artefacts
Advantage: If stopped at the correct moment, asuperior image quality with less noise
Disadvantage: the correct stopping criterium is nota general rule but has to be established perprocedure

Each event is characterized by the combination ofa detector pair
This coincident detector pair is unique and calleda Line of Response or LOR
The data can be stored as event-by-event or listmode combined with timing information
The data can be stored in a sinogram, matrix of allLOR's, ordered according to angle and distanceto central axis

m
Storage of raw data
The choise between list mode or sinograms isbased on size of data set
The number of LOR's in a 3D PET system can goup to 5x 109. A large part will be zero’s so listmode can be more efficient.
List mode also allows you for a replay into adynamic study
So: 2D-data sets: sinogram mode 3D-data sets: depends on scanner (LOR's)

- List mode (event-by-event) *- Static study- Dynamic study- Whole body study
