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" by James Case. The video discusses key concepts of PET imaging and provides an overview of the principles and techniques used in cardiac PET imaging. The presenter explains the different types of PET instrumentation and their capabilities in acquiring high-quality cardiac PET studies. The difference between cardiac PET and SPECT imaging is also discussed, highlighting the advantages of PET in terms of attenuation correction and image quality. The presenter touches on various types of PET artifacts such as misregistration, motion artifacts, and metal artifacts, and explains the importance of identifying and correcting these artifacts. The video also addresses the principles of PET myocardial blood flow and the calculation of important quantitative values in cardiac blood flow studies. The presenter emphasizes the importance of optimizing image reconstruction and considers the various advanced processing techniques that can be applied. The video concludes with a discussion on the quality control measures that should be followed to ensure accurate blood flow measurements in PET imaging.
