Determination of the Energy Windows for the Triple Energy Window Scatter Correction Method in Gadolinium-159 Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Using Monte Carlo Simulation [PDF]
Introduction: In radionuclide imaging, object scatter is one of the major factors leading to image quality degradation. Therefore, the correction of scattered photons might have a great impact on improving the image quality.
