TREJO BALLADO, F.; ORTEGA LOPEZ, N.; OJEDA FLORES, R.  y  AVILA RODRIGUEZ, M.A. Evaluación de desempeño del micropet focus 120 con los radionúclidos ¹¹C,¹³N y ¹⁸F. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2010, vol.56, n.6, pp.482-488. ISSN 0035-001X.

The aim of this work is to evaluate the characteristics involved in the data acquisition and image reconstruction of a microPET Focus 120 system. Energy resolution, spatial resolution, sensitivity, count rate and image quality characteristics were evaluated using different phantoms with three conventional positron emitter radionuclides used in PET imaging (¹¹C, ¹³N and ¹⁸F). Some tests performed in this work are from the new protocol NEMA NU4 - 2008.
