Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In list mode acquisition, a timing mark is stored along with the x and y locations of the scintillations event.In addition, a physiological marker is placed in the list of data.List mode acquisition mode requires a significant amount of storage but the advantage is that acquired data can be evaluated and images constructed only from those desired heart rates.The advantage of this technique is that after data have been acquired as a list of gamma-ray events, the data can be evaluated, the desired R-R interval can be selected from the acquired data, and images can be constructed only from those of the desired heart rate.If the reformatted data are found to be unacceptable, a new R-R interval can be selected and a new series of images can be formatted.
