Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the use of alternative scintillation crystals to enhance the performance and cost-effectiveness of total-body PET scanners.
  • Compared LSO scintillation crystals with BGO crystals in PET scanners.
  • Analyzed image quality and cost-effectiveness metrics.
  • Conducted performance assessments on the Biograph Vision Quadra.
  • BGO provides superior cost-effectiveness compared to LSO.
  • Image quality remains high with the use of BGO.
  • Potential for improved accessibility in clinical settings.

Abstract

Replacing LSO with BGO can significantly improve the cost-effectiveness of the Biograph Vision Quadra without compromising image quality. This study highlights the potential for optimizing PET scanners through alternative scintillation materials, improving accessibility and supporting early disease detection in clinical practice.
