Area of Science:

  • Nuclear medicine
  • Medical imaging
  • Physiology

Context:

  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful imaging technique.
  • Accurate measurement of the input function is crucial for quantitative PET analysis.
  • Current methods for input function measurement can be invasive.

Purpose:

  • To develop and validate a noninvasive method for measuring the arterial input function using a beta camera.
  • To assess the feasibility of using beta camera imaging for dynamic positron distribution measurements in arteries.

Summary:

  • Dynamic images of positron distribution were acquired from an artery using a beta camera placed on the skin surface during 15O-water PET scans.
  • Time-sequence images were captured at 10-second intervals.
  • Regions of interest were defined on the artery and adjacent tissue to derive a time activity curve, approximating the input function through signal subtraction.
