Development of scatter reconstruction algorithms to 3-dimensional positron emission tomography

In 3-dimensional positron emission tomography (PET), the proportion of the detected photon coincidences arising from scatter can be very high, up to 60%. A standard approach to scatter correction in 3D PET is to estimate the scattered coincidences and subtract them from the list of recorded events....
