Single, prompt, and true count rates for each crystal material used in the simulation of a physically recorded BTAC using wristPET1. All simulation criteria were constant except the crystal material and associated parameters from Table 1. The highest count rates for both singles and coincident rates can be noted for BGO crystals. There was no venous return of blood in this simulation, only arterial blood at a uniform velocity. Similar responses can be noted for LaBr3 and CeBr3 crystals and they appear as overlapping on the figure
