Monte Carlo-based quantitative pinhole SPECT reconstruction using a ray-tracing back-projector
Abstract Background Monte Carlo simulations provide accurate models of nuclear medicine imaging systems as they can properly account for the full physics of photon transport. The accuracy of the model included in the maximum-likelihood–expectation-maximization (ML-EM) reconstruction limits the overa...
