Optimizing acquisition parameters for 3D whole-body (18)F-FDG PET scans on the SET-3000 G/X scanner significantly improves sensitivity and spatial resolution. Maximum ring difference of 49 and span of 9 are recommended for enhanced PET imaging efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiophysics

Background:

  • The SET-3000 G/X is a 3D dedicated PET scanner with a large aperture.
  • High line of response count leads to large sinogram data and prolonged reconstruction times.
  • Optimization of acquisition parameters is crucial for efficient 3D whole-body (18)F-FDG PET imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize basic acquisition parameters, specifically maximum ring difference (MRD) and span, for sensitivity and spatial resolution in 3D whole-body (18)F-FDG PET.
  • To enhance the efficiency of PET measurements using the SET-3000 G/X scanner.

Main Methods:

  • Sensitivity and spatial resolution were measured using standard protocols (JRIA 1994, NEMA NU 2-2001).
  • Maximum ring difference (MRD) was varied from 1 to 49 for sensitivity measurements.

  • Span was varied from 3 to 21 for spatial resolution measurements.
  • Image noise was evaluated using identical regions of interest (ROIs) on reconstructed images.

    • Main Results:

    • Total sensitivity increased with MRD, with MRD=49 being approximately two times higher than MRD=13.
    • Image noise in the axial field of view center decreased as MRD increased.
    • Spatial resolution slightly decreased with increasing MRD, while axial resolution deteriorated significantly with spans greater than 11.

    Conclusions:

    • The optimal parameters for whole-body (18)F-FDG PET are MRD 49 for maximum sensitivity and span 9 to maintain spatial resolution.
    • Careful selection of basic data acquisition parameters is essential for maximizing the efficiency of 3D whole-body (18)F-FDG PET measurements.
    • These optimized parameters can improve the diagnostic utility of PET imaging.
