A Monte Carlo simulation study of scatter fraction and the impact of patient BMI on scatter in long axial field-of-view PET scanners

A Monte Carlo simulation study of scatter fraction and the impact of patient BMI on scatter in long axial field-of-view PET scanners

The NEMA NU-2 standard describes a protocol for measurement of scatter fraction (SF) using an axially-aligned line source, offset at 45 mm from the central axis, in a cylindrical polyethylene phantom. In this work, which is an extension of our preliminary results previuosly published in the Proceedi...
