Abstract

See full text

A partial-ring PET device, in which some of coincidence radiation detectors to be arranged in a ring shape around a field of view for detecting lines of response of annihilation radiations are missing, is compensated for a drop in image quality due to the missing of the coincidence radiation detectors by including single gamma-ray radiation detectors for detecting at least either one of the annihilation radiations as a single gamma-ray. This can reduce missing of projection angles and reduce artifacts in PET images.
