ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for performing a patient scan using a three-dimensional (3D) cylindrical Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging system are provided. The method includes acquiring a count-rate profile of a brain, repositioning at least one of a detector and the brain based on the count-rate profile and a detector sensitivity profile, and scanning the brain when the acquired count-rate profile substantially matches the detector sensitivity profile.
