Image quality analysis of 44Sc on two preclinical PET scanners: a comparison to 68Ga

Abstract Background 44Sc has been increasingly investigated as a potential alternative to 68Ga in the development of tracers for positron emission tomography (PET). The lower mean positron energy of 44Sc (0.63 MeV) compared to 68Ga (0.83 MeV) can result in better spatial image resolutions. However,...
