Ensuring Quantitative Accuracy in PET

Image quality is only one aspect of functional imaging with PET and SPECT. The ability to reproducibly extract quantitative information from our images is critical to research. This may be as simple as assessing tumor-to-background ratio in tracer development, or as complex as assessing treatment protocols in oncology models, or dosimetry for extrapolation to human applications.

This results in a smaller diffraction limit and it is much easier to achieve higher imaging resolution.
