Summary

Abstract The reduction of background events, such as random and scatter events, can improve positron emission tomography (PET) images quantitatively. The quantum entanglement property of annihilation photons has been theoretically studied and experimentally validated. Recently, simulation studies on PET image reconstruction using the quantum entanglement property of annihilation photons and studies on the measurement of entanglement and polarization properties with scintillation crystal arrays demonstrated that PET images with less background can be achieved. This study utilized the quantum entanglement property of annihilation photons in a typical PET system with block detectors. A data acquisition method for quantum entanglement PET (QEPET) and system response modelling for QEPET image r
