    摘要: A method and apparatus for increasing the resolution of a Positron Emission Tomography scanner. The method and apparatus comprise elements and acts for centering a region of interest of an object at a point between first and second detector arrays at least about ten percent closer to the first detector array than to the second detector array.

    摘要: A positron emission tomography (PET) technique that can enhance the image resolution and system sensitivity of a clinical PET/CT scanner for imaging a whole body or a target region of a subject is provided. The system includes a detector array and a detector panel. The detector array includes an array of gamma ray detectors defining a field of view of a scanner and configured to detect at least one coincidence event. The detector panel includes an array of gamma ray detectors having a higher intrinsic spatial resolution than the detector array and positioned in closer proximity to a patient table than the detector array. The detector panel is positioned outside the field of view defined by the detector array during at least a portion of scanning by the PET system. The detector panel is configured to detect at least one coincidence event in cooperation with the detector array. The control unit is configured to control the detector array, the detector panel, and the patient bed to operate in cooperation with each other.
