[Gate-users] Attenuation Correction of PET Images

[Geron Bindseil]

Dear Gate community,

Has anyone implemented a method in Gate for producing attenuation correction
factors for PET imaging?

I'm looking into the possibility of computing attenuation correction factors
directly using the phantom materials that lie along each line of response. I
have read of a few simulated approaches in the literature: using a simulated
CT sinogram, and using a cylindrical ring of activity around the field of
view to simulate blank and transmission scans.

Any help or insight you could share would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Geron
