A Study to Evaluate Improving PET Image Quality and Quantification by Using Motion Correction, Parametric Imaging and MAP Reconstruction

Overview

About this study


The aims of this research project are to assess the effectiveness of motion correction software for patients undergoing PET brain scans, to assess the data acquisition and image processing workflow for parametric analysis of brain and whole body scans, and to assess the quality of PET images reconstructed with maximum a posteriori (MAP) reconstruction algorithm.
