The wireless VSM module of a mobile PET/CT system, operating in an environment with strong Wi-Fi signals, may experience ECG signal and respiratory signal loss due to Wi-Fi interference. ECG and respiratory signal loss during acquisition can result in the failure of ECG and respiratory-gated reconstruction of the PET scan, which may require rescanning of the patient.
