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
  • To capture the entire area of interest in the imaging table (correct)
  • To calculate the coincidence timing window (CTW)
