Lutetium background radiation in total-body PET—A simulation study on opportunities and challenges in PET attenuation correction

The current generation of total-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanners offer significant sensitivity increase with an extended axial imaging extent. With the large volume of lutetium-based scintillation crystals that are used as detector elements in these scanners, there is an increased fl...
