Abstract
Accidental suppression and effective data rates have been measured for the orbiting transmission source as implemented in the Donner 600-crystal positron-emission tomograph (PET). A mechanical description of the orbiting source and a description of the electronics used to discard scattered and accidental events are included. Since accidental coincidences were the rate-limiting factor in transmission data acquisition, this method allows sufficient transmission data to be acquired in a shorter time with a more-active transmission source.Keywords
