A simulation study of the system characteristics for a long axial FOV PET design based on monolithic BGO flat panels compared with a pixelated LSO cylindrical design
Abstract Background Although a new generation of tomographs with a longer axial field-of-view called total-body PET have been developed, they are not widely utilized due to their high cost compared to conventional scanners. The newly designed walk-through total-body PET scanner is introduced as a hi...
