System and method for enhanced sampling via helical scanning and list-mode reconstruction in positron emission tomography

摘要

A positron emission tomography (PET) scanner system, including a detector that acquires PET event information, the detector being configured to move during acquisition of the PET event information; a first motion unit that acquires first event information of a position of a patient bed, the patient bed being configured to move during acquisition of the PET event information; a second motion unit that acquires second event information of the detector; an event collector that generates an event list of events that includes the PET event information, the first event information, and the second event information; and a list-mode reconstructing unit that reconstructs an image by processing the generated event list.
