Fig. 2From: Innovative procedure for measuring left ventricular ejection fraction from 18F-FDG first-pass ultra-sensitive digital PET/CT images: evaluation with an anthropomorphic heart phantomSchematic depiction of the automated Python method for producing “pseudo-planar” PET images. The “pseudo-planar” image was obtained by summing the signals in all 127 PET slices along the z-axis. Preorientation allowed the z-axis to be aligned with the cardiac small axis.
