Variation of image counts with patient anatomy and development of a Monte Carlo simulation system for whole-body bone scans

The optimisation of image quality in medical imaging techniques is a significant factor in favourable patient prognoses. The number of counts in a nuclear medicine image is one factor in determining the diagnostic value of the image. The current study aims to determine the variation in counts in who...
