Aim The aim of the study was (1) to evaluate the reconstruction strategies with dynamic [ 11 C ]-raclopride human positron emission tomography (PET) studies acquired from ECAT high-resolution research tomograph (HRRT) scanner and (2) to justify for the selected gap-filling method for analytical reco...
