Abstract | Philips has recently released the time-of-flight (TOF) PET/CT GEMINI-TF scanner. It uses 4 times 4 times 22 $mm^{3}$ LYSO crystals, which has 600 ps timing resolution, 12% energy resolution and 4.8 mm spatial resolution. This paper describes the system design and general approach of TOF reconstruction in Philips' GEMINI-TF scanner. A relaxed list mode ordered subset expectation maximization (LMOSEM) algorithm is used in the reconstruction, with chronologically ordered subsets. The sensitivity and emission object in LMOSEM are computed in the spherically symmetric basis function (blob) space. The multiplicative correction factors of detector normalization, isotope decay, system dead-time and crystal timing are pre-corrected for each list mode event. Attenuation, scatter and randoms are corrected in the reconstruction system matrix. A TOF-dependent single scatter simulation (SSS) is implemented for TOF scatter estimation. To accelerate reconstruction, the sensitivity calculation and list mode reconstruction are distributed to multiple processors, using a dynamic load balancing scheme. For this paper, a uniform cylinder phantom with cold and hot cylinder inserts, a NEMA body IEC phantom and a patient study are reconstructed with both TOF and non-TOF reconstructions. We have demonstrated that TOF reconstruction converges faster than non-TOF, and controls noise well than non-TOF. It has better contrast-noise trade-offs than non-TOF for cold regions and small hot lesions. |

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.
