abstract：OBJECTIVE:Attenuation correction (AC) on nuclear images of non-uniform domains is generally performed by a change of the computed tomography (CT) values to μ values, which are then inserted as components into the detection probability of iterative reconstruction techniques (OS-EM Iterative AC). We established an AC tec...
