Abstract
Objective: In order to ensure reliable image creation from data provided by a PET system, a comprehensive quality assurance program should be adopted.
Methods: Minimum requirements for a quality assurance program should consist of a daily test of the scanner under normal working conditions and periodic recalibration of the scanner to guarantee correct normalization.
Results: Analysis of additional tests of spatial and axial resolution, count rate performance, counting efficiency, and statistical image uniformity will enhance the quality assurance program.
Conclusion: Quality assurance programs for PET scanners should be individualized to each site.
