Evaluation of alternative scintillation crystals to improve performance and cost-effectiveness in total-body PET scanner
Replacing LSO with BGO can significantly improve the cost-effectiveness of the Biograph Vision Quadra without compromising image quality. This study highlights the potential for optimizing PET scanners through alternative scintillation materials, improving accessibility and supporting early disease detection in clinical practice.
