ASRT introduction to PET
Which interaction results in the production of 2 photons traveling 180 degrees from each
other? - answer Annihilation reaction
Pet- CT is used for what purposes? - answer- Evaluating cardiac disease
- distinguishing malignant cancer from benign cancers
- monitoring cancer treatment effectiveness
BUT NOT for providing detailed anatomical images
What is a positron? - answer Positively charged electron
Coincidence detection - answerin PET the two 511 KeV photons should hit the
detectors in oppostite side at the same time to form signal
The requirements for PET-CT operators are set by? - answer Individual states
Which PET-CT component is responsible for amplifying light and creating an electrical
impuse? - answer Photomultiplier tube
All of the Following are true of PET-CT crystals? - answer1. They are very dense
3. They convert x-radiation to light
4. They do not absorb moisture from the atmosphere
The Collimators used for 2D PET scanning are made of? - answerLead and tungsten
