Monte Carlo Simulations of the GE Signa PET/MR for Different Radioisotopes

Monte Carlo Simulations of the GE Signa PET/MR for Different Radioisotopes

NEMA characterization of PET systems is generally based on 18F because it is the most relevant radioisotope for the clinical use of PET. 18F has a half-life of 109.7 min and decays into stable 18O via β+ emission with a probability of over 96% and a maximum positron energy of 0.633 MeV.
