Image quality and quantitation accuracy of penalized-likelihood reconstruction method for ¹⁸F and ⁹⁰Y

One application of PET/CT is diagnosis of tumours using ¹⁸F-FDG as a radiotracer. Early detection of small lesions is imperative to improve diagnosis. Recently, PET/CT was proposed to image ⁹⁰Y, (which has a small number (32ppm) of positrons emitted from internal pair production), as a tool for veri...
