Abstract
Total-body (TB) PET scanners with an axial field of view (AFOV) of at least 60 cm can image dynamic radiopharmaceutical distributions in the whole body. Although the benefits of the fine temporal sampling and dramatic increase in system sensitivity afforded by TB PET imaging have been postulated for
Highlights
Total body (TB) PET scanners with an axial field-of-view (AFOV) of at least 60 cm can image dynamic radiopharmaceutical distributions in the whole body
The benefits of TB-PET with these first-generation systems became clear after the first human studies [1,2] and have only become more apparent with greater use
We will find an optimal AFOV that provides maximum benefit for each application, system cost and diagnostic yield may temper the widespread adoption of TB-PET scanners that truly encompass the entire body
Summary
Total body (TB) PET scanners with an axial field-of-view (AFOV) of at least 60 cm can image dynamic radiopharmaceutical distributions in the whole body.
