Figure 4From: The influence of different signal-to-background ratios on spatial resolution and F18-FDG-PET quantification using point spread function and time-of-flight reconstruction Radial activity profiles of the smallest sphere (30 mm) depending on reconstruction algorithm and SBR. Edge elevations (Gibbs artifacts) can be observed after reconstruction with PSF + TOF and PSF (not displayed) at SBR1 (A, D, G) and SBR2 (B, E, H). SBR3 (C, F, I) shows no considerable artifacts. The gray lines indicate the respective smoothing spline.Back to article page
