abstract = {Iterative image reconstruction is widely used in positron
emission tomography. However, it is known to contribute to
quantitation bias and is particularly pronounced during
dynamic studies with 11C-labeled radiotracers where count
rates become low towards the end of the acquisition. As the
strength of the quantitation bias depends on the counts in
the reconstructed frame, it can differ from frame to frame
of the acquisition. This is especially relevant in the case
of neuro-receptor studies with simultaneous PET/MR when a
bolus-infusion protocol is applied to allow the comparison
of pre- and post-task effects. Here, count dependent changes
in quantitation bias may interfere with task changes. We
evaluated the impact of different framing schemes on
quantitation bias and its propagation into binding potential
(BP) using a phantom decay study with 11C and 3D OP-OSEM.
Further, we propose a framing scheme that keeps the true
counts per frame constant over the acquisition time as
constant framing schemes and conventional increasing framing
schemes are unlikely to achieve stable bias values during
the acquisition time range. For a constant framing scheme
with 5 minutes frames, the BP bias was $7.13±2.01\%$
$(10.8\%$ to $3.8\%)$ compared to $5.63±2.85\%$ $(7.8\%$ to
$4.0\%)$ for conventional increasing framing schemes. Using
the proposed constant true counts framing scheme, a
stabilization of the BP bias was achieved at $2.56±3.92\%$
$(3.5\%$ to $1.7\%).$ The change in BP bias was further
studied by evaluating the linear slope during the
acquisition time interval. The lowest slope values were
observed in the constant true counts framing scheme. The
constant true counts framing scheme was effective for BP
bias stabilization at relevant activity and time ranges. The
mean BP bias under these conditions was $2.56±3.92\%,$
which represents the lower limit for the detection of
changes in BP during equilibrium and is especially important
in the case of cognitive tasks where the expected changes
are low.},
