Abstract: A printer includes a printing unit powered from a battery which is charged by a charge IC, and a processor. The processor sets a mode of the printer to a print mode, and sets the mode to a low-power mode in which total power consumption of the printer is lower than that in the print mode, in a state that the printing unit stops printing. In a case where the processor sets the mode to the low-power mode, the processor sets the mode to a first low-power mode, in which the charge IC is driven at a first SW frequency, when the charge IC works to charge the battery, and sets the mode to a second low-power mode, in which the charge IC is driven at a second SW frequency lower than the first SW frequency, when the charge IC stops the charge of the battery.

Abstract: For partial volume correction, the partial volume effect is simulated using patient-specific segmentation. An organ or other object of the patient is segmented using anatomical imaging. For simulation, the locations of the patient-specific object or objects are sub-divided, creating artificial boundaries in the object. A test activity is assigned to each sub-division and forward projected. The difference of the forward projected activity to the test activity provides a location-by-location partial volume correction map. This correction map is used in reconstruction from the measured emissions, resulting in more accurate activity estimation with less partial volume effect.
