Quantitative validation of Monte Carlo SPECT simulation: application to a Mediso AnyScan GATE simulation

Abstract Background Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are used in nuclear medicine imaging as they provide unparalleled insight into processes that are not directly experimentally measurable, such as scatter and attenuation in an acquisition. Whilst MC is often used to provide a ‘ground-truth’, this is o...
