Image quality in nuclear medicine depends on spatial resolution, contrast resolution, sensitivity, and noise.

This section examines partial volume effects, scatter correction, attenuation correction, and reconstruction parameters. Understanding the balance between resolution and noise is central to optimising imaging protocols.

Examinations (such as FRCR, FCRad(Diag), ABR core and RANZCR) frequently test how acquisition and reconstruction choices influence image clarity and quantitative reliability.

The questions below focus on applied reasoning around image optimisation and artefact reduction.
