Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the performance specification of PHILIPS GEMINI GXL16 PETCT through the acceptance tests.
Methods Acceptance tests of GEMINI GXL16 PET-CT consist of PET performance measurements and the precise measurement of imaging fusion.The performance measurement of PET was based on NEMA standard(NU 2-2001 version).
Results Spatial resolution(FWHM, mm)was 6.06/ 6.44(axial, 2D/3D)and 4.65/5.98(tansverse, 2D/3D).Scatter fraction(SF)was 34.27%.Energy resolution was 18%.Sensitivity(counts·s-1·MBq-1)was 8312/8472(center/10cm).Noise equivalent count rate was 53.29 kcps.The phantom imaging can recognize small sphere with diameter 10 mm and the imaging fusion was precise.
Conclusion The PET measurement results of the PET-CT met the requirement of manufacture's standard, therefore acceptance test was approved.
