Abstract
TThe main goal of SPECT imaging is to determine the distribution of injected activity inside patient's body. However, due to photon attenuation, a quantitative study is encountered with remarkable error. Using Monte Carlo method, it is possible to find the most precise relationship between activity distribution and its projections. Therefore, it is impossible to create mathematical projections that include the effects of attenuation. This helps to have a more realistic comparison between mathematical and real projections, which is a necessary step for image reconstruction using MLEM. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
