This study provides European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) guidelines for quality control (QC) of PET-CT and PET-MR systems. The guidelines ensure optimal performance of integrated PET scanners for clinical use.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear Medicine
- Medical Imaging
- Radiology
Background:
- Current Nuclear Medicine instrumentation guidelines require updates for advanced PET-CT and PET-MR systems.
- State-of-the-art PET scanners are increasingly integrated with CT or MR modalities, necessitating multimodal QC procedures.
Conclusions:
- The developed guidelines ensure the optimal operational status of PET-CT and PET-MR systems.
- Adherence to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining high-quality PET imaging in routine clinical practice.
