Description

The measurement of relative contrast has been employed to assess the merits of utilising time-of-flight (TOF) data in the reconstruction of images using positron emission tomography (PET). The results derived from the inclusion of (TOF) information demonstrate improved image enhancement compared with a non-filtered back projection technique incorporated into the reconstruction method employed.
