Figure 4

The images of the rat-sized phantom acquired after corrections. (a) Scatter correction, (b) Chang’s method in combination with scatter correction, (c) CTAC in combination with scatter correction, (d) CTIACR in combination with scatter correction, and (e) CTMAC in combination with scatter correction. The line profiles through the center of the rat-sized phantom are shown, and the purple line is the true activity concentration obtained from measurement.
