Results of phantom study with different sphere-to-background ratios. SUV_mean recovery coefficients of all micro and NEMA spheres reconstructed with different algorithms; OSEM, OSEM+PSF and BPL with β = 450, 550 and 700. Results are shown for all three different sphere-to-background ratios: a.) 10-to-1, b.) 4-to-1, and c.) 2-to-1. Gray areas indicate levels at which SUV recovery is the same as background
