Abstract

In PET imaging, attenuation and scatter corrections are an essential requirement to accurately quantify the radionuclide uptake. In the context of PET/MR scanners, obtaining the attenuation information can be challenging. Various authors have quantified the effect of an imprecise attenuation map on the reconstructed PET image but its influence on scatter correction has usually been ignored.
