First performance evaluation of easyPET.3D, a high-resolution and cost-effective benchtop preclinical PET scanner
EasyPET.3D geometry favours the reduction of parallax error, despite its low sensitivity. The system linearity is suitable for the low range of activities (7-8 MBq) used for mice imaging. The overall performance showed that easyPET.3D has potential for entry-level preclinical applications.
