s1, setting total scanning time, first scanning time and second scanning time of a PET scanning module, wherein the two scanning times are 1/2 of the total scanning time (for example, a certain bed needs to acquire data for 5 minutes, and the PET scanning module can independently scan for 2.5 minutes) and moving the scanning bed to the bed needing to be scanned;
s2, scanning a target by using a CT or MR device to obtain scanning data for obtaining attenuation information;

in a certain bed, the first scanning object coordinates of the PET are [ x, y and z ], after the scanning bed is shifted, the second scanning object coordinates of the PET are [ x ', y ', z ' ], the three-dimensional offset of a defined pixel is d [ dx dy dz ], and the pixel is converted into a one-dimensional linear storage space through an image space, wherein d can also be directly represented by d 1;
for example, data is stored in x, y, z order for a three-dimensional spatial image, where x ' =x+dx, y ' =y+dy, z ' =z+dz, dxdy dz is the offset of three dimensions;
defining one-dimensional coordinates vid=x+y offsetx+z Offsetx Offsety, offsetx and Offsetxy being the widths of the x and y dimensions, respectively, d1=vid '-vid=x' +y '×offsetx+z' ×offsetx Offsetx Offsety- (x+y×offsetx+z) Offsetx) =dx+dy×offsetx+dz.
The scanning method and the reconstruction method of the present embodiment are verified:
the verification uses a 4.2mm LYSO crystal detector ring as an acquisition module, and a Jaszczak scanning die body specially used for measuring the resolution of the system is selected to verify the resolution effect.
