Verification of the Quantitative Accuracy of the PET/CT System Imaging Chain

Scope:

To evaluate the new technologies that have been included in the PCA-9000A PET/CT System, the
study has the following 3 goals.

- Define and confirm all supported clinical protocols from Low-Dose CT, to PET
acquisition and presentation.

- Verification of the quantitative accuracy of the imaging chain.

- Evaluate the performance and stability of the new system and its related quality
control and calibration procedures.

Result (Expected):

The study is an essential step in assessing the quality of the hardware and software
defining the new PCA-9000A PET/CT System. Several essential parameters for the acquisition,
reconstruction, correction, filtering, and presentation will be estimated or adjusted during
this period. The evaluation will confirm PCA-9000A PET/CT System is effective for its
intended use.
