Abstract
Time-of-flight (TOF) PET uses very fast detectors to improve localization of events along coincidence lines-of-response. This information is then utilized to improve the tomographic reconstruction. This work evaluates the effect of TOF upon an observer9s performance for detecting and localizing focal warm lesions in noisy PET images. Methods: An advanced anthropomorphic lesion-detection phantom was scanned 12 times over 3 days on a prototype TOF...
