Module 03b. PET Quality Control, Corrections and Processing-PET Quality Control, Corrections and Processing (Presentation)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is titled "Instrumentation Module 3B: Pet Quality Control, Corrections, and Processing" and is presented by James Case. In the video, Case discusses the key concepts of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, with a focus on cardiac acquisition protocols and image reconstruction. He explains the differences between SPECT and PET imaging, emphasizing the advantages of PET, such as the ability to correct for attenuation and the use of two photons for imaging. The video also covers common artifacts in PET imaging, including misregistration, motion artifacts, and metal artifacts, and provides solutions for correcting them.<br /><br />Case introduces the concept of myocardial blood flow imaging using PET and the importance of quantifying blood flow in assessing cardiac function. He explains two different models for calculating blood flow, the single tissue compartment model and the net retention model, and discusses the quality control measures required to ensure accurate results. Case also highlights the use of the double product, the product of systolic blood pressure and heart rate, as a tool for assessing the accuracy of blood flow measurements.<br /><br />Overall, the video provides an overview of PET imaging principles, artifact correction techniques, and the importance of quality control in cardiac PET imaging, particularly in the assessment of myocardial blood flow. No credits are mentioned in the video.
