dc.description.abstract | Previous methods for optimizing the scan times for PET transmission and emission scans under a total scan time constraint were based on linear non-statistical methods and used noise equivalent counts (NEC) criteria. The scan times determined by NEC analysis may be suboptimal when nonlinear statistical image reconstruction methods are used. For statistical image reconstruction, the predicted variance in selected regions of interest is an appropriate alternative to NEC analysis. The authors propose a new method for optimizing the relative scan times (fractions) based on analytical approximations to the covariance of images reconstructed by both conventional and penalized-likelihood methods. The authors perform simulations to compare predicted standard deviations with empirical ones. Results show that for statistical transmission image reconstruction, the optimal fraction of the scan time devoted to transmission scanning is shorter than for conventional transmission smoothing. | en_US |
