【 摘 要 】

Objective: Computer-generated PET quality assurance data are only useful if they are fully understood by the technologist who should be able to rely on the scanner’s performance without question.Methods: This paper reviews the various results generated by the quality control procedures and the acceptance tests for the Siemens ECAT 951/31 scanner.Results: Although the data presented are from the Siemens scanner, they can be easily applied to other PET cameras and should give users a point of reference.Conclusions: The technologist’s confidence and comprehension of the quality control and acceptance procedures is important in understanding PET quality assurance.
