摘　　要：目的探讨PET/CT成像条件(采集时间、床位重叠、重建矩阵、迭代次数、滤波核、衰减校正)对图像空间分辨率的影响。方法使用GE Discovery Elite型和GE Discovery ST-16型2种PET/CT设备分别对椭圆柱分辨率模型进行1个和2个床位扫描(List mode模式,采集时间为6 min);使用临床常用重建条件(Elite型:VPFX-S算法;ST-16型:VUE Point HD算法)分别按1~6 min/床、不同迭代次数2~10次、滤波核2.0~10.0 mm(Elite型)、不同的重建矩阵以及是否进行衰减校正对图像进行重建;用线源扩展函数的半高宽(FWHM)表示PET重建图像的空间分辨率。结果在临床采集条件下,当采集时间为1 min、2 min、3 min、4 min、5 min、6 min时,中心位置图像空间分辨率FWHM Elite分别为(4.06±0.08)mm、(4.05±0.20)mm、(4.01±0.01)mm、(4.05±0.07)mm、(4.05±0.03)mm、(4.08±0.06)mm;FWHM ST-16分别为(5.76±0.12)mm、(5.72±0.11)mm、(5.74±0.09)mm、(5.78±0.05)mm、(5.75±0.09)mm、(5.77±0.07)mm。模体位于1个床位的中心及2个床位重叠处时,中心位置线源FWHM Elite分别为(4.04±0.01)mm、(4.04±0.01)mm;FWHM ST-16分别为(5.39±0.19)mm、(5.38±0.07)mm。矩阵为256×256、192×192、128×128时,中心位置FWHM Elite分别为(4.07±0.18)mm、(4.25±0.10)mm、(4.73±0.08)mm。滤波核2.0 mm、4.0 mm、6.0 mm、8.0 mm、10.0 mm时,中心位置的FWHM Elite分别为(4.65±0.43)mm、(4.77±0.27)mm、(4.02±0.01)mm、(4.11±0.04)mm、(9.94±0.01)mm。2、4、6、8、10次迭代时,中心位置的FWHM Elite分别为(4.17±0.27)mm、(4.27±0.21)mm、(4.11±0.05)mm、(4.18±0.04)mm、(4.12±0.06)mm。是否使用衰减校正,中心位置的FWHM Elite分别为:(4.14±0.01)mm、(4.18±0.08)mm。相同采集时间及床位下,Elite型较ST-16型图像空间分辨率改善约40.57%。结论同一机型矩阵为256×256所得到的图像,空间分辨率较另两者高;重建滤波核为6.0 mm时,Elite型图像空间分辨率最好;同一成像条件下,Elite型图像空间分辨率明显好于ST-16型Objective To investigate the influence of PET/CT imaging conditions(acquisition time,bed overlap,recon-struction matrix,iteration times,filter kernel size,and attenuation correction)on the spatial resolution of images.Methods Two PET/CT devices,GE Discovery Elite and GE Discovery ST-16,were used to scan the elliptical column res-olution model in one and two beds(list mode,acquisition time of 6 min).Images were reconstructed under the commonly used clinical reconstruction conditions(Elite:VPFX-S algorithm,ST-16:VUE Point HD algorithm)at 1-6 min/bed,differ-ent iteration times of 2-10 times,different filter kernel sizes of 2.0-10.0 mm(Elite),and different reconstruction matrices,with attenuation correction or not.The spatial resolution of reconstructed PET images was represented by the full width at half maximum(FWHM)of the line spread function.Results Under the clinical acquisition conditions,when the acquisi-tion time was 1 min,2 min,3 min,4 min,5 min,and 6 min,the FWHM Elite of spatial resolution at the center of field of view was(4.06±0.08)mm,(4.05±0.20)mm,(4.01±0.01)mm,(4.05±0.07)mm,(4.05±0.03)mm,and(4.08±0.06)mm,and the FWHM ST-16 was(5.76±0.12)mm,(5.72±0.11)mm,(5.74±0.09)mm,(5.78±0.05)mm,(5.75±0.09)mm,and(5.77±0.07)mm.When the phantom was located in the center of one bed and the overlap of two beds,the line FWHM Elite at the center was(4.04±0.01)mm and(4.04±0.01)mm,and the FWHM ST-16 was(5.39±0.19)mm and(5.38±0.07)mm,re-spectively.The FWHM Elite at the center was(4.07±0.18)mm,(4.25±0.10)mm,and(4.73±0.08)mm at the matrices of 256×256,192×192,and 128×128,respectively.The FWHM Elite at the center was(4.65±0.43)mm,(4.77±0.27)mm,(4.02±0.01)mm,(4.11±0.04)mm,and(9.94±0.01)mm at the filter kernel sizes of 2.0 mm-10.0 mm(interval of 2.0 mm),respectively.The FWHM Elite at the center was(4.17±0.27)mm,(4.27±0.21)mm,(4.11±0.05)mm,(4.18±0.04)mm,and(4.12±0.06)mm at 2-10 iterations(interval of 2 times),respectively.The FWHM Elite at the center was(4.14±0.01)mm and(4.18±0.08)mm with and witho
