PET performance and image quality are degraded as body size increases; as size increases so do attenuation and background fractions. Based on simulated and acquired data, a fillable, tapered phantom was developed to measure PET scanner performance and image quality as a function of body size over a wide range of sizes. Design constraints included shape, cross-sectional dimensions, material, wall thickness,...
