A hybrid pre-processing attenuation correction technique for SPECT imaging

Factor acting against quantitation of radioactivity uptake in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is the attenuation (scattering and absorption) of gamma photons in the patient, and a number of approximate correction techniques exist. A hybrid technique dealing with the attenuation p...
