Abstract
We compared a conventional PET-CT scanner (Siemens Biograph TruePoint TrueV) with and without resolution modeling (RM) image reconstruction with a high resolution research tomograph (HRRT) in order to assess the utility of conventional scanners for brain scanning. A modified Esser phantom and 6 neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS) were scanned using both scanners. The phantom was filled with fluorine-18 (40 MBq,...
