Inclusion of Inter-crystal Scattering in PET: Analytical Models and Dedicated Reconstruction
Jorge Roser, Hong Phuc Vo, Rebecca Kantorek +2
Inter-crystal scattering (ICS) in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is commonly regarded as a degradation effect that might compromise the image spatial resolution. In parallel, t…
Analytical Model of Prompt Gamma Timing for Spatiotemporal Emission Reconstruction in Particle Therapy
Julius Werner, Malte Schmidt, Francesco Pennazio +4
Particle therapy relies on up-to-date knowledge of the stopping power of the patient tissues to deliver the prescribed dose distribution. The stopping power describes the average p…
