Methods Coincidence gamma camera 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging was performed on a cylindrical phantom. Visual analysis and semiquantitative analysis were performed on AC and non-attenuation correction (NAC) images. Results The equitability and the spatial resolution in AC images were superior to that in NAC images. AC corrected the deformation in NAC images. Conclusion AC increases the image quality.Read More
