We perform a parametric study of the newly developed time-of-flight (TOF) image reconstruction algorithm, proposed for the real-time imaging in total-body Jagiellonian PET (J-PET) scanners. The asymmetric 3D filtering kernel is applied at…
Positron emission tomographs (PET) do not measure an image directly. Instead, they measure at the boundary of the field-of-view (FOV) of PET tomograph a sinogram that consists of measurements of the sums of all the counts along the lines…
The J-PET detector being developed at Jagiellonian University, is a Positron Emission Tomograph composed of the long strips of polymer scintillators. At the same time it is a detector system which will be used for studies of the decays of…
The Jagiellonian Positron Emission Tomograph (J-PET) is the first PET built from plastic scintillators. J-PET prototype consists of 192 detection modules arranged axially in three layers forming a cylindrical diagnostic chamber with the…
The growing interest in human-grade total body positron emission tomography (PET) systems has also application in small animal research. Due to the existing limitations in human-based studies involving drug development and novel treatment…
The novel whole-body PET system based on plastic scintillators is developed by the {J-PET} Collaboration. It consists of plastic scintillator strips arranged axially in the form of a cylinder, allowing the cost-effective construction of the…

An image or volume of interest in positron emission tomography (PET) is reconstructed from pairs of gamma rays emitted from a radioactive substance. Many image reconstruction methods are based on estimation of pixels or voxels on some…
Iterative methods for tomographic image reconstruction have great potential for enabling high quality imaging from low-dose projection data. The computational burden of iterative reconstruction algorithms, however, has been an impediment in…
Electron tomographic reconstruction is a method for obtaining a three-dimensional image of a specimen with a series of two dimensional microscope images taken from different viewing angles. Filtered backprojection, one of the most popular…
