Proposed changes to the ACR phantom filling procedure for more accurate and consistent activity concentrations.

CONCLUSION: These improvements allow tighter thresholds to be applied when evaluating image quality and quantitative accuracy of the PET images. These changes also render this phantom data more suitable for inter-PET-scanner harmonization and improve its utility for comparing image reconstruction methods.
