Abstract
A single-plane PET imaging instrument using LSO detectors has been constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of imaging at 1 mm spatial resolution. The performance of this instrument has been evaluated in phantoms and small animals. Measurements presented include spatial resolution, sensitivity, count-rate performance, linearity and field uniformity. Examples of several mouse imaging studies are also presented
