Abstract
A medical system () for normalization correction of an imaging system () includes a detector geometry correction unit (), a crystal efficiency unit (), and a normalization unit (). The detector geometry correction unit () mathematically calculates a detector geometry correction component for a type of scanner () of interest. The crystal efficiency unit () configured to empirically determine a crystal efficiency component for at least one individual scanner (). The normalization unit () generates a normalization data set () which corresponds to a normalization correction factor of the at least one individual scanner () in accordance with the detector geometry correction component and the crystal efficiency component.
