Abstract :
The quality field of view (QFOV) of a GE Healthcare Discovery NM 530c cardiac single-photon emission computed tomograph (D530c) is the volume representing the intersection of the 19 conic volumes defined by the system´s 19 pinhole/detectorarray pairs. Here are reported phantom experiments conducted to investigate and characterize aspects of the D530c QFOV.
