Model-based randoms correction for 3D positron emission tomography

Random coincidences (randoms) are frequently a major source of image degradation and quantitative inaccuracies in positron emission tomography. Randoms occurring in the true coincidence window are commonly corrected for by subtracting the randoms measured in a delayed coincidence window. This req...
