# Project 3 - TotalBody PET reconstruction (*cancelled due to software issues*)
Lead: Nikos Efthimiou (remote) 
Co-lead: Harry Tsoumpas 

***This project unfortunately has been canceled.*** We have discovered a last minute software problem and therefore will not be able to run this project on Saturday. Apologies.
### Description
This group will focus on the reconstruction and image analysis of phantom data acquired on the PennPET Explorer; the long axial field-of-view scanner developed at the University of Pennsylvania. The phantom was a 20-cm long cylinder, and the acquisition was performed on the 6-rings prototype scanner with 7.6 cm axial gaps. This group will evaluate the effect of the acceptance angle on profiles of the emission data. The reconstruction will be performed for the original scanner geometry, and geometries with “virtually” deactivated rings. Then axial noise profiles along the length of the cylinder will be evaluated and discussed.
