  1. The center of the coordinate system was the center of the scintillation crystal surface. The z axis was perpendicular to the scintillation crystal surface and pointed towards the x-ray detector
  2. Asterisks (*) indicate that the parameter value was unchanged with respect to the previous calibration step
