dc.description.abstractPositron emission tomography (PET) measures the temporal and spatial distributions of short-lived positron emitting nuclides within the human body. Positron annihilation radiation is detected by rings of discrete scintillators surrounding the body. Images (128 x 128 pixels) of the radioactivity distributions are reconstructed from the discrete ray projections of the detected coincident photons. Each pixel is fit to a mathematical model that represents a physiological process such as blood flow or metabolism to create a new three parameter functional or parametric image.en_US
