Abstract
An imaging assembly includes a radiation camera configured to obtain position-sensitive radiation data of at least one source of interest. The assembly includes a controller includes a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for executing a method for reducing background interference in the position-sensitive radiation data in an image domain. The controller is programmed to generate a first set of image data (G) from the position-sensitive radiation data with a first energy window. A second set of image data (G) is generated from the position-sensitive radiation data with a second energy window such that the second energy window does not overlap with the first energy window. A third set of image data (G) is generated having reduced background interference, based at least partially on the first and second sets of image data.
