This algorithm includes a relaxation parameter, and this study considered its validation in ^<18>F-FDG. Methods: A PET scanner Gemini GXL (PHILIPS) system was used in this study. In the phantom study, a cylindrical phantom with 6 hot spheres was filled with ^<18>F and arranged at equal intervals. The diameters of the hot spheres were 8, 13, 16, 21, 26, and 31 mm, respectively. The accumulation of this phantom was calculated to give standardized uptakes value (SUV) of 2.5 (9.1 kBq/ml) and 5.0 (18.2 kBq/ml) on images acquired 60 minutes after injection of 185 MBq into a patient weighing 60 kg. The radioactive concentration of the background is 3.64 kBq/ml to get an SUV of 1.0. The acquisition time used was for a routine acquisition of 2 minutes/bed position and an ideal condition of 20 minutes/bed position. The relaxation parameter was changed from 0.02 to 0.5. Image analyses included visual evaluation and statistical analysis. Results: On visual evaluation, image quality decreased when the relaxation parameter was larger than 0.08. SUV was inaccurate with 2 minutes acquisition. Image quality depends on the SUV difference. When the relaxation parameter was larger than 0.08, image quality degraded significantly. With an SUV of 2.5, accumulation was not recognized when the relaxation parameter was 0.5. Evaluation of the quality of image using the coefficient of variation (CV) showed that it deteriorated as the relaxation parameter increased. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that the optimal relaxation parameter differs according to the acquisition conditions., 原著, 群馬県立県民健康科学大学紀要 4,25-30,2009}, pages = {25--30}, title = {^<18>F-FDG PET における RAMLA画像再構成法の基礎的検討}, volume = {4}, year = {2009} }
