A Matheematical Model for Positron-Emission Tomography Systems Having Time-of-Flight Measurements
Abstract
Improvements in high speed electronics and scintillation-crystal technology now permit usable differential time-of-flight measurements to be made in tomography systems that employ coincidence detection of the annihilation photons created with positron emitting radionuclides. A mathematical model for these new measurements is developed in this paper. Reconstruction algorithms and their signal-to-noise ratio performance are given.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
