Evaluation of the Impact of Out-of-Axial FOV Scattering Medium on Random Coincidence Rates on Discovery 690 PET/CT Scanner: A Simulation Study

Evaluation of the Impact of Out-of-Axial FOV Scattering Medium on Random Coincidence Rates on Discovery 690 PET/CT Scanner: A Simulation Study

Purpose: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging is a nuclear medicine imaging technique based on the recording of two photons as coincidence created by positron annihilation. Materials and Methods: PET coincidence events include true and unwanted coincidences (random, scattered, multiple coincid...
