What Is 'Time of Flight' PET Scanning?
As with all modalities of imaging equipment, PET scanning is gradually moving in the direction of greater and greater diagnostic accuracy. For PET in particular, the biggest step in that direction of the last decade has been the development and proliferation of time-of-flight technology.
For those who may be using PET systems older than ten years, or newer systems without the time-of-flight option enabled, there are benefits to time-of-flight you'll want to explore as the time to upgrade your equipment draws nearer.
For those who may be only just entering the PET arena, there are several reasons why a time-of-flight-equipped system should be at the top of your list of considerations. Wherever you may fall on the PET user spectrum, we'll share below more details about what time-of-flight features do and what they mean for PET users and patients alike.
