| Abstract | The limited axial Field Of View of state of the art Positron Emission Tomographs, necessitates the movement of the patient bed at multiple axial positions for the acquisition of Whole Body studies. From the variety of the possible sampling schemes in the axial direction, the data acquisition method that effectively improves the axial uniformity of the data Signal to Noise Ratio and eliminates the resolution artifacts in Whole Body studies, is the continuous spatial sampling scheme. In this work, in addition to the SNR uniformity benefit from the continuous sampling scheme, a gain in the absolute SNR value of the data is investigated. The continuous axial sampling scheme implies that all the data points are sampled with all the detectors in the axial direction hence the efficiencies of the detector system in the axial direction are averaged. As a result the overall variance of the data after the correction for the detector efficiency variation is reduced. A method is developed, that theoretically estimates the overall variance of a data set corrected for detector efficiency, as a function of the normalization correction matrix. This method can be used to predict the relative SNR performance of any PET tomograph under different data sampling schemes. It can also be used for the comparison of the relative data SNR between two PET systems that have the same overall sensitivity but differ in the efficiency uniformity of their detector systems. When the method is used to theoretically predict the overall data variance improvement from the discrete to the continuous sampling scheme for an ECAT EXACT HR PET system, the theoretically calculated values closely match the measured improvements. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
