Abstract
A method and system for reconstructing PET image data from a cylindrical PET scanner by incorporation of axial system response. The method includes the steps of: assuming the decomposition of axial components into individual line-of-response (LOR) contributions, approximating each LOR spreading in image space as depth-independent, implementing each LOR response, combining the LORs to produce large span projection data, implementing the back projector as a transposed matrix, and assembling the LOR projections and spans for each azimuthal angle.
