PET technology has an important role in modern medical diagnostics. With this process we can view snapshot of a given part of the body’s metabolism which provides more information than examining the organ’s anatomy. Processing list mode measurement data is a demanding task, to solve this problem we use GPU which provides the necessary parallel architecture. The list mode approach’s main benefit is that we can assign TOF (Time Of Flight) and energy information to every annihilation event. In this work, we will show in detail how can we effectively utilize the GPU to reconstruct from list mode data.
