> I simulated a cylindrical PET system using point source (back-to-back gamma) at the center of the detector for a simple study..(with cylindrical phantom filled with just air).
> If my understanding is correct, coincidence events should have back-to-back gamma's, which tell us LOR in r-z plane should be simply a line passing through the center (0,0). In other words Z1+Z2 should be very close to zero. Below shows actual z position detected for two gammas in each coincidence events in my simulation output. Looks like something else is going on...
