Abstract:
A method for reconstructing multi-tracer metabolic and morphometric images. The method includes the steps of: (a) receiving a plurality of events from positron annihilation centers obtained during measurements conducted by TOF-PET tomography; (b) reconstructing the time coordinates and the three-dimensional spatial coordinates for the plurality of events; (c) determining a common decay plane for gamma quanta originating from the positron-electron annihilation; (d) transforming the three-dimensional spatial coordinates for the gamma quanta to a two-dimensional frame of reference of the common decay plane; (e) determining the time coordinates and the spatial coordinates of a place of the annihilation in the common decay plane; and (f) transforming the time coordinates and the spatial coordinates of the place of the annihilation in the two-dimensional frame of reference of the common decay plane to three-dimensional spatial coordinates in a detector coordinate system.
