IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION IN PET

IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION IN PET

In this paper we review the basics of PET and discuss the fundamental principle of the physics of PET, the detection of photons and the creation of sinograms. The principles of PET image formation as described with the presentation of the basic back-projection technique and the now well established...
