Abstract

A method for acquiring a PET image with ultra high resolution using movement of a PET device is provided. In the related art, there is a limit in lowering of the resolution below a half (d/2) of the width of a detector. According to the provided method, an image with ultra high resolution, which can jump over the limit, can be acquired. Further, since utilization of larger detectors becomes possible without a loss of the resolution, the sensitivity of the PET can be improved, and thus an image of higher quality can be acquired.
