  • Abstract
    A geometrical model to describe the annihilation positions associated with scattered coincidences has been proposed in this study. This model can accurately describe the distribution of the annihilation positions in a normalized coordinate, which can be used to further improve the reconstructed image quality in a scattering reconstruction algorithm.
