Optimization of energy-window settings for scatter correction in quantitative (111)In imaging: comparison of measurements and Monte Carlo simulations.

Journal article

Activity quantification in nuclear medicine imaging is highly desirable, particularly for dosimetry and biodistribution studies of radiopharmaceuticals. Quantitative (111)In imaging is increasingly important with the current interest in therapy using (90)Y radiolabeled antibodies. One of the major problems in quantification is scatter in the images, which leads to degradation of image quality. The aim of this study was to optimize the energy-window settings for quantitative (111)In imaging wi...
