摘要:
A method and apparatus for reducing random events in positron emission tomography (PET) list mode data, the method including the steps of obtaining, for a PET scanner having a given reconstruction field of view (FOV), time-of-flight (TOF) prompt list-mode count data that includes TOF information, the TOF prompt list-mode count data including a plurality of entries; and filtering the obtained prompt list-mode count data by removing those entries in the obtained prompt list-mode count data that represent emission points lying outside a tangential TOF mask to obtain filtered list-mode count data.
