Abstract: For partial volume correction, the partial volume effect is simulated using patient-specific segmentation. An organ or other object of the patient is segmented using anatomical imaging. For simulation, the locations of the patient-specific object or objects are sub-divided, creating artificial boundaries in the object. A test activity is assigned to each sub-division and forward projected. The difference of the forward projected activity to the test activity provides a location-by-location partial volume correction map. This correction map is used in reconstruction from the measured emissions, resulting in more accurate activity estimation with less partial volume effect.
