Abstract
A method for performing a partial scan of a patient using a PET/CT system includes receiving a selection of a region of interest for scanning and performing a CT scan over a region of interest with the PET/CT system to acquire raw CT data. The raw CT data is reconstructed into one or more CT images. The PET/CT system is configured to limit data collection to the region of interest. A PET scan limited to a region of interest is performed with the PET/CT system to acquire raw PET data. The raw PET data is reconstructed into one or more PET images of the region of interest.
