Simulations of whole-body low-dose time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) based on the direct surface production [1] by 511 keV gamma rays of energetic electrons via the Photo-electric and Compton Effects, eliminating the scintillator and photodetector sub-systems in PET scanners.
A Talk given by Allison Squires on Compton Scattering in liquid media for TOF-PET under lower doses, TOPAS simulations of the Derenzo, XCAT brain phantoms are included.
