Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of the coincidence timing window (CTW) in PET tomography event detection?

To ensure that two annihilation photons are detected within a specific time frame (correct)
To determine the exact time of event occurrence
To calculate the line of response (LOR) between two detectors
To identify the location of the imaging table

What is the function of the detector blocks in a PET tomograph?

To estimate randoms using singles methods
To identify the bed positions for image acquisition
To display the 3D image matrix
To detect and identify individual events and determine the line of response (LOR) (correct)

What is the purpose of multiple acquisitions in PET studies at different bed positions?

To determine the scintillation light pattern for each crystal within the detector block
To estimate randoms using delayed coincidence and singles methods
