A: a radioactive decay occurs which emits a positron. B: the positron collides with an electron and emits photons. C: The photons are detected by photomultipliers
A: The decay emits photon pairs at ~ 180 degrees B: The ideal case of a decay resulting in the LOR D.

Interpolation • Nearest Neighbour • Linear • (Windowed) Sinc • Splines
Program Platform • Hba Irix • ECAT6 Solaris • ECAT7 Solaris • ImageJ Java compatible • SPM Matlab compatible • PMOD Java compatible
Conclusion • Use splines or NN for interpolation • AC-PC alignment not important • SPM • PMOD
