50 Counterbalancing a change of acquisition time with reconstruction parameters on numerical PET

Introduction. New numerical positron emission tomography (PET) changes the physical properties of the detection chain [1]. We studied the relationship between acquisition time (Tacq) and reconstruction parameters on a VEREOS PET/CT camera. The aim of this study was to find the most appropriate reconstruction parameters to compensate for a modification of acquisition times in clinical settings.
