<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Xinjie,</div><div><br></div>I think you would be better off diving into the problem or data by yourself rather than hoping to get some clues from others. In the long run, you are getting challenged but that is how you improve your capability. <div><br></div><div>As to your question, are you sure that these coincidence events are from the source outside the axial FoV? That sounds very weird, right? Each true line of response (lor) shall cross the source itself (unless significant scattering happened), however, you said the source is outside of PET axial FoV. You may want to try to draw such a line representing the lor, see whether it exists or not. Common ways to remove unqualified lors: 1. setting up some geometry restriction, for example, the distance from the source to the lor is smaller than a certain value 2. timing window, 3. energy window. </div><div><br></div><div>Good luck. </div><div><br></div><div>Zhengzhi </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 28, 2020 at 12:15 PM Xinjie Cao <<a href="mailto:xinjie.cao@stonybrook.edu">xinjie.cao@stonybrook.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>I am doing a PET scanner sensitivity evaluation, but I could still collect a coincidence pair even when I put the source out of axial FOV.
