Description

124I has a long half life of 4.2 days that is suitable for imaging over several days during the biological uptake and washout of radioiodine. However 124I has a low positron branching ratio (23%). High-energy γ- photons (602 keV to 1,326 keV) are emitted in cascade with the positrons. These cascade γ- photons degrade the image quality. To find optimal parameter, image quality of the Inveon 124I PET scanner with various energy window settings was measured based on the NEMA NU4-standars and compared with those of 18F PET
