  • Dead pixel identification in positron emission tomography (PET)
    Patent number: 9841515
    Abstract: A system (10) and a method (150) identify non-functioning pixels in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Data describing scintillation events localized to a plurality of pixels (22, 32) of a PET scanner (12) is received. A count map histogram is generated from the received data. The count map histogram maps each of the pixels (22, 32) to a count of scintillation events localized to the pixel (22, 32). One or more non-functioning pixels are identified from the count map histogram.
