Abstract:
A method for self-time alignment procedure for a PET scanner system is disclosed. Modeled time-of-flight (TOF) data are compared against the measured TOF data in order to find individual detector's time offsets (TOs). Then the TOs are estimated simultaneously by matching the TOF center of mass between the modeled and measured TOF data.
