    Study Notes

    Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

    • PET is a powerful imaging technique for visualizing biochemical and physiological processes within the body.
    • Metabolic and biological signs of disease precede anatomical evidence.
    • PET complements, not replaces, anatomical imaging methods (e.g., CT, MRI). It provides information about molecular processes in healthy and diseased tissues.

    PET Principles

    • Short-lived positron-emitting isotopes (e.g., Carbon-11, Nitrogen-13, Oxygen-15, Fluorine-18) are used as tracers.
    • These tracers allow for the study of fundamental biochemical reactions, such as those involving oxygen and glucose.
    • Thousands of radiolabeled compounds are used for PET imaging.
    • PET moved from research to routine clinical use in late 1990s, enabled by Medicare and insurance approvals for certain applications (oncology, cardiology, brain).

    Physics of Positrons

    • Positrons (antiparticles of electrons) were theorized by Dirac and experimentally confirmed by Anderson.
    • Positrons emitted from nuclei travel a short distance, losing energy and slowing down through ionization.
    • Positron-electron annihilation produces two 511 keV photons in nearly opposite directions.
    • Energy of emitted positrons varies, affecting the positron’s range and, consequently, image resolution. Radionuclides with shorter ranges produce higher resolution images than those with longer ranges.

    PET Radionuclides (Table 13-1)

    • The table lists maximum and mean ranges (in mm) along with half-lives for several common radionuclides.
    • Fluorine-18 (18F) has a longer half-life than others making transport possible.
    • Rubidium-82 (82Rb) has a longer range and therefore lower resolution.

    PET Tracer Production

    • Positron-emitting radionuclides are produced using small linear accelerators (cyclotrons).
    • Cyclotrons are costly ($2-3 million) and require specialized radiochemistry labs to create short-lived tracers.
    • Some tracers (e.g., 18F-FDG) are approved for wider distribution; others are used on-site only.

    PET Radiation Detectors

    • Ideal detector materials have high density to stop photons, high scintillation efficiency and produce light quickly.
    • Common detector materials include BGO (bismuth germinate), LSO (lutetium orthosilicate), LYSO (cerium-doped lutetium yttrium orthosilicate), and GSO (gadolinium orthosilicate).
    • BGO has high stopping power but a slower response compared to LSO, LYSO, and GSO. Faster materials are better for 3D imaging.
    • Crystals are grouped into modules, which use multiple photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to detect light and identify the emitting crystal as well as the energy of the detected photon.

    PET Scanner Design

    • Detectors on opposite sides of patient for simultaneous detection of annihilation photons.
    • “Electronic collimation” determines the decay event location.
    • Data is used to create a line of response (LOR). Many LORs are needed for accurate reconstruction.
    • Scanners have 10,000-28,000 or more crystals laid out in several rings to form a field of view (FOV).

    PET Data Acquisition

    • PET scanners have a FOV of 15-20 cm (single bed position) or from hips to brain (whole-body).
    • Different acquisition modes: static, dynamic, cardiac gated, respiratory gated, 3D, whole-body, list mode.
    • All scanners acquire data until the acquisition at each bed position is complete; usually 30-60 minutes for a study.

    Three-Dimensional Imaging

    • 3D scanners use faster scintillators and eliminate septa, achieving 4-10x increase in sensitivity.
    • 3D mode increases events detected leading to better quality and resolution, especially useful in whole body imaging and studies that require high sensitivity.

    Coincidence Detection

    • True count: photons are from the same annihilation.
    • Random event: photons from different annihilations within the timing window occur or photon pair is detected incorrectly.
    • Scattered event: photons are scattered within the body.
    • Correction techniques are used to account for random, scatter and detector deadtime in the image reconstruction process.

    PET/CT Scanners

    • Combine PET and CT in a single gantry.
    • CT scan is performed first and used to align the PET images and create an attenuation-correction map that considers differing tissue density.
    • Allows for high-resolution anatomical views that align with the molecular function image views.

    Image Reconstruction

    • Simple filtered back projection (FBP) methods create streak artifacts increasing noise and contrast issues.
    • Iterative methods (e.g., OSEM and MLEM) reduce streaks and increase quality, time-consuming but important to reduce artifacts in the image and enhance the accuracy of the image.
    • Newer methods use time-of-flight (ToF) for improved accuracy and high spatial resolution for identification of small lesions.

    Data Formats

    • Data are collected as lines of response (LOR).
    • Image data are reformatted to create sinograms for each slice for display.

    Attenuation Correction

    • Important for high-energy imaging as there is significant attenuation across the body.
    • Transmission scans (using a radioactive source like 68Ge or through CT) create attenuation correction maps for each slice.

    Time-of-Flight (ToF) PET

    • Measures time difference between photon arrivals.
    • ToF scanners provide improved lesion detection, particularly for small lesions and large patients reducing random events and improving contrast for more accurate location analysis.
    • Most new models are ToF design due to significant improvement seen in image resolution and clarity.

    Scanner Calibration and Quality Control

    • Daily blank scans are essential to validate accurate data and remove errors in the attenuation correction and to detect problems with the scanner.
    • Normalization and Absolute Activity calibrations are performed regularly to account for efficiencies and conversion factors.
    • Quality Control (QC) tests are critical to ensure accuracy of the images viewed.

    Partial Volume Effect

    • Small objects can be poorly represented due to the size of the voxel and its sampling of the lesion location.
    • The effect is noticeable when object size is comparable or smaller than the voxel.

    Quantitative Image Information

    • Standard Uptake Value (SUV) measurement uses absolute activity and patient characteristics to show quantitative uptake of radiotracers in areas of concern or lesions.
    • Dual time point imaging is helpful in distinguishing malignant tumors (uptake increases with time) from inflammatory processes (decreases with time) to avoid false-positives and to characterize FDG kinetics.

    Displaying PET Data

    • Multiple projections (transaxial, coronal, sagittal) are routinely used to evaluate complex issues, but more importantly, to observe the relationships between anatomical structures and problems.
    • Maximum-intensity projection (MIP) methods useful in quickly viewing the entire volume and correlating the relationships between lesions and anatomical structures.

    Image Fusion

    • Fusing PET with anatomical data (CT or MRI) allows for highly accurate location of problems.
    • Newer methods use skin markers to improve the process, but this is not used in most cases of PET scans. Fusion in PET/CT is significantly faster and easier as the anatomy and molecular data are aligned.
