Description
The goal of the SAFIR project is to build a pre-clinical PET insert for an existing 7T MRI scanner, with a high temporal resolution of better than 5s per image.
The SAFIR PET insert was modeled by means of the Monte-Carlo tool Gate, and for a simplified mouse model different time dependent tracer activities were simulated. After coincidence sorting, the images were analytically reconstructed with the STIR library and further analysed with PMOD, to obtain time activity curves per region.
This allows comparing the recovered activity curve to the simulation input activity function to assess scanner performance in dynamic acquisitions.
