#2013 Optimizing Reconstruction Algorithm to Improve Quality of Post-PRRT Yittrium-90 PET Scan

Introduction: 90Y is commonly used in PRRT for NET. It has no gamma photon in its emission that significantly limits post-therapy imaging and dosimetry. Other than Bremsstrahlung imaging which bears hereditary drawbacks of poor resolution, PET scan has been used for post-PRRT imaging. However, in daily clinical practice, due to extremely low abundance of positron emission per decay and patient’s intolerability of prolonged scan time, it is very difficult to obtain a scan with decent quality.
