An investigation into the use of scattered photons to improve 2D Position Emission Tomography (PET) functional imaging quality
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful metabolic imaging modality, which is designed to detect two anti-parallel 511 keV photons origniating from a positron-electron annihilation. However, it is possible that one or both of the annihilation photons undergo a Compton scattering in the objec...
