Improved PET/MRI accuracy by use of static transmission source in empirically derived hardware attenuation correction

Abstract Background Accurate quantification of radioactivity, measured by an integrated positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, is still a challenge. One aspect of such a challenge is to correct for the hardware attenuation, such as the patient table and radio...
