Importance of Attenuation Correction (AC) for Small Animal PET Imaging

Importance of Attenuation Correction (AC) for Small Animal PET Imaging

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a correction for annihilation photon attenuation in small objects such as mice is necessary. The attenuation recovery for specific organs and subcutaneous tumors was investigated. A comparison between different attenuation correction methods was p...
