CALIBRATING THE COINCIDENCE TIMING UTILIZED IN TIME-OF-FLIGHT MEASUREMENTS IN POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY
摘要
<p>A method for calibrating an imaging system includes coincident detecting scatter radiation events from a calibration source located within a bore of the imaging system. The scatter radiation events are subsequently used to compute calibration time offsets for each detector channel in the imaging system. Each detector channel is then calibrated with respective calibration time adjustments.</p>
