Figure 8

Profiles traced across the center of a cylindrical mouse-sized phantom filled with -FDG. The number of coincidences is plotted with respect to the position across the field of view. The thick line shows the profile across the original PET image, the dotted line shows the profile across the SE-AC image, and the full line is the profile across the image corrected with the CT-AC method.
