Abstract

Focuses on a model developed by Monte Carlo methods to estimate noise components in three-dimensional positron emission tomography. Quantitative accuracy of the developed noise model; Optimization of signal-to-noise response; Axial distributions of scatter-to-true and random-to-true ratios for the brain, abdomen and whole body phantoms.
