<p>Dear Gate users,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have recently been working on a simulation of a PET scan. And I am using both the Coincidences and a Delayed Coincidences setting.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>When analysing the results I find that the amount of randoms inside the Delays branch is significantly bigger (~60%) than the amount of randoms in the Coincidences branch. Additionally the spectral distribution has more counts in the low energy regions.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I would expect them to have a similar amount of counts and spectral distribution since I am working with low activities.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am using the default setting for multiple coincidences (<span>keepIfAllAreGoods</span>) but I do not know whether this is enough to justify those results.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Is this normal? Has anyone come across anything similar?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p><br>
