With much more data and the added complexity of corrections, there is a significant increase in the reconstruction time needed for 3D data.3D data sets also slow down processing, transferring, and archiving of 3D data.Whole-body imaging with the scanner in 3D mode improves patient throughput because it provides an increase in scanner sensitivity and may allow a decrease in the time required for emission imaging.In 3D mode the wide acceptance angle creates high sensitivity in the center, which diminishes at the edges, creating a pyramid-shaped sensitivity distribution.
