How to Compare Different Range Estimations: A Symmetry-Based Approach
To estimate the future value of a quantity y or a present value of a difficult-tomeasure quantity y, we measure easier-to-measure quantities x1, . . . , xn related to y by a known dependence y = f(x1, . . . , xn), and then use this dependence to compute an estimate ỹ for y. Measurements are never absolute accurate: each measurement result x̃i is, in general, different from the actual (unknown) v...
متن کاملApplicability of Modified Effective-Range Theory to positron-atom and positron-molecule scattering
We analyze low-energy scattering of positrons on Ar atoms and N2 molecules using Modified Effective-Range Theory (MERT) developped by O’Malley, Spruch and Rosenberg [Journal of Math. Phys. 2, 491 (1961)]. We use formulation of MERT based on exact solutions of Schrödinger equation with polarization potential rather than low-energy expansions of phase shifts into momentum series. We show that MER...
متن کاملIterative reconstruction incorporating positron range correction within STIR framework
Division of Medical Physics, University of Leeds, UK Positron range is one important physical limitation to spatial resolution in PET imaging. We present a method to take account of positron range blurring in iterative reconstruction by including specific positron range kernels approximating the annihilation distribution in the forward projection operation [1]. The correction method is implemen...
متن کاملPET iterative reconstruction incorporating an efficient positron range correction method.
Positron range is one of the main physical effects limiting the spatial resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) images. If positrons travel inside a magnetic field, for instance inside a nuclear magnetic resonance (MR) tomograph, the mean range will be smaller but still significant. In this investigation we examined a method to correct for the positron range effect in iterative image r...
متن کاملEffect of scatter coincidences, partial volume, positron range and non-colinearity on the quantification of FDOPA Patlak analysis
Introduction: The key characteristics of positron emission tomography (PET) are its quantitative capability and its sensitivity, which allow the in vivo imaging of biochemical interactions with small amounts of tracer concentrations. Therefore, accurate quantification is important. However, it can be sensitive to several physical factors. The aim of this investigation is the assessment of the e...
