Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of the contrast-to-noise ratio in PET scan devices?

  • To evaluate the difference between the signal of interest and other regions (correct)
  • To calculate the timing accuracy of the line of response
  • To increase the spatial resolution of the image
  • To measure the background signal from tissues
  • What is the effect of Compton-scattered y-rays on the image SNR?

  • It has no effect on the SNR
  • It increases the SNR
  • It is irrelevant to PET scan devices
  • It contributes to the degradation of the SNR (correct)
  • What is the formula to calculate the CNR of a PET scan device?

  • CNR = (µo − µB )/σB (correct)
  • CNR = (µo ÷ µB )/σB
  • CNR = (µo + µB )/σB
  • CNR = (µo × µB )/σB
  • What is the purpose of low-pass filters in post-acquisition processing?
