Abstract
Total-body PET and long-axial-field-of-view (LAFOV) PET are game-changing innovations at the threshold of clinical implementation. Early experience has demonstrated high sensitivity (84 cps/kBq), a time-of-flight resolution of 214 ps, and improved image quality enabling ultra-fast or low-dose
