POSITRON EMISSION COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND METHOD AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTED BY POSITRON EMISSION COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHIC APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a positron emission computer tomographic apparatus which is capable of efficiently performing imaging, and a method and a program implemented by the positron emission computer tomographic apparatus.SOLUTION: A positron emission computer tomographic apparatus includes a minimum number deviation unit, an excessive length deviation unit and a starting point deviation unit. The minimum number deviation unit deviates a minimum number which is the number of scans in continuously performing a plurality of scans, and required for imaging at least a range in an axial direction of a region of interest. The excessive length deviation unit deviates an excessive length which is scanned excessively in the axial direction by the plurality of scans on the basis of the minimum number of scans and the range in the axial direction of the region of interest and a FOV length in the axial direction. The starting point deviation unit deviates a starting point of a first scan included in the plurality of scans in such a manner that the excessive length is equally allocated to terminal portions in the axial direction of the region of interest.
