All of the present methods for calibration and monitoring of time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) scanner detectors utilize radioactive isotopes, such as 22Na or 68Ge, which are placed or rotate inside the scanner. In this article, we describe a novel method based on the cosmic rays application to the PET calibration and monitoring methods. The concept allows to overcome many of the drawbacks of the present methods and it is well suited for newly developed TOF-PET scanners with a large longitudinal field of view. The method enables also the monitoring of the quality of the scintillator materials and in general allows for the continuous quality assurance of the PET detector performance.
