Time-of-flight PET: dealing with the data
Precise timing of photons emitted by PET tracers has long been accepted as a way of improving image quality. But such measurements are rarely used in clinical PET examinations. One obstacle is the sheer computing power required to manipulate the timing data. Researchers from the University of Southern California (Los Angeles, CA) have now shown how to handle the extra information efficiently, using similar strategies to those applied to conventional PET (Phys. Med. Biol. 53 2809).
