MULTI-PARAMETRIC WEIGHTED MULTI-BED PET ACQUISITION AND RECONSTRUCTION

摘要

A method for performing a multi-bed scan includes receiving scanner-specific information including scanner sensitivity and receiving patient-specific information including attenuation. An attenuation-weighted sensitivity profile is calculated based on the scanner sensitivity and the attenuation. Individual bed scan times for each bed in a multi-bed study is calculated based on the attenuation-weighted sensitivity profile and the multi-bed scan is performed using the calculated individual bed scan times.
