Validation of the SimSET simulation package for modeling the Siemens Biograph mCT PET scanner.
Published in Physics in Medicine and Biology
Monte Carlo simulation provides a valuable tool in performance assessment and optimization of system design parameters for PET scanners. SimSET is a popular Monte Carlo simulation toolkit that features fast simulation time, as well as variance reduction tools to further enhance computational efficiency. However, SimSET has lacked the ability to sim...
Towards component-based validation of GATE: aspects of the coincidence processor.
Published in Physica Medica
GATE is public domain software widely used for Monte Carlo simulation in emission tomography. Validations of GATE have primarily been performed on a whole-system basis, leaving the possibility that errors in one sub-system may be offset by errors in others. We assess the accuracy of the GATE PET coincidence generation sub-system in isolation, focus...
Optimal whole-body PET scanner configurations for different volumes of LSO scintillator: a simulation study.
Published in Physics in Medicine and Biology
The axial field of view (AFOV) of the current generation of clinical whole-body PET scanners range from 15-22 cm, which limits sensitivity and renders applications such as whole-body dynamic imaging or imaging of very low activities in whole-body cellular tracking studies, almost impossible. Generally, extending the AFOV significantly increases the...
