Description

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has been a useful tool in clinical diagnosis and study. In special, hybrid PET/CT system that is combined X-ray computed tomography (CT), has made whole-body PET imaging significant procedure in accurate diagnosis of oncological disease. Recently, major manufacturers of PET/CT have made their effort to develop PET/CT system and improve it. To use and maintain the newly developed PET/CT system, proper evaluation of the PET/CT performance characteristic has to be performed. In this study, we have executed physical experiment to evaluate performance characteristics of a newly installed clinical whole-body PET/CT system
