Abstract
Using the proposed sparse detector-ring configuration, the AFOV of current generation PET systems can be doubled while maintaining the original number and volume of detector crystal elements, and without jeopardizing the system's overall physical performance. Despite an increase in the noise level, the Ex-mCT exhibited an improved noise uniformity.
