FR Recognition Number 12-326
Standard
NEMA  NU 2-2018
Performance Measurements of Positron Emission Tomographs
Scope/Abstract
The philosophy and rationale of the standards measurements and illustrative examples of the analysis and results are presented in

Journal of Nuclear Medicine, vol. 43, no. 10, 2002. Daube-Witherspoon ME, Karp JS, Casey ME, DiFilippo FP, Hines H, Muehllehner G, Simcic V, Stearns CW, Adam L-E, Kohlmyer S and Sossi V. "PET Performance Measurements Using the NEMA NU 2-2001 Standard." pp. 1398-1409.

With the exceptions of Section 8 for time-of-flight systems and Section 9 for hybrid PET/CT systems, the Task Force has attempted to specify methods that can be performed on all positron emission tomographs. These include single and multiple slice, discrete and continuous detector, time-of-flight instruments, multi-planar and volume reconstruction models, and dedicated positron emission tomographs as well as other coincidence-capable imaging systems. Wherever possible, future developments that could be readily anticipated were taken into account.
