Aim of our study was to implement a new method for the determination of the Modulation
Transfer Function (MTF) in order to evaluate the performance of hybrid PET - CT
systems, with a fast and low cost method, based on easily accessible materials to the
physicist in the hospital. The key to this approach was the preparation of a novel and
highly homogeneous - high activity film flood source, using Fluorine18 as the positrons
emitting nuclide.
