Abstract
A method of scanner correction includes obtaining a first photopeak location for a first crystal in a detector. Image data is received from the first crystal. The first crystal generates the image data during a current imaging procedure. The image data is processed using the first photopeak location. A second photopeak location is determined for the first crystal from the image data. A difference between the first photopeak location and the second photopeak location of the first crystal is determined and the image data is reprocessed using the second photopeak location when the difference between the first photopeak location and the second photopeak location exceeds a predetermined threshold. An image is generated using the image data.
