Monte Carlo Calculations in Nuclear Medicine (eBook, PDF)

Applications in Diagnostic Imaging
Redaktion: Ljungberg, Michael; King, Michael A.; Strand, Sven-Erik

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

From first principles to current computer applications, this book covers the applications of Monte Carlo calculations in nuclear medicine and critically reviews them from a diagnostic perspective. New chapters in this edition cover codes and applications in pre-clinical PET and SPECT. The book explains how Monte Carlo methods and software packages can be applied to evaluate scatter in SPECT and PET imaging, collimation, and image deterioration. A guide for researchers developing methods to improve image resolution, it also demonstrates how Monte Carlo techniques can be used to simulate complex imaging systems.
