Accurate 3D Positron Range Correction Method for Heterogeneous Material Densities in PET

Abstract: Objective: The positron range is a fundamental, detector-independent physical limitation to special resolution in positron emission tomography (PET) as it causes a significant blurring of the reconstructed PET images. A major challenge for positron range correction methods is to provide accurate range kernels that inherently incorporate the generally inhomogeneous stopping power, especially at tissue boundaries. In this work, we propose a novel approach to generate accurate three-dimensional (3-D) blurring ker… Show more
