Significant artefactual noise in 90Y TOF-PET imaging of low specific activity phantoms arises despite increased acquisition time

Abstract Volumes of usual PET phantoms are about four to sixfold that of a human liver. In order to avoid count rate saturation and handling of very high 90Y activity, reported TOF-PET phantom studies are performed using specific activities lower than those observed in liver radioembolization. Howev...
