Partial volume effect in SPECT & PET imaging and impact on radionuclide dosimetry estimates [PDF]
Objective(s): The spatial resolution of emission tomographic imaging systems can lead to a significant underestimation in the apparent radioactivity concentration in objects of size comparable to the resolution volume of the system. The aim of this study
