Definition of the geometric variables affecting the performance of the positron projection imager. Only lines-of-response (LORs) falling within the small, user-selected cone angle θ contribute counts to the mid-plane image. The FWHM of the projected spot size 2r2 increases (resolution degrades) as the distance from the mid-plane increases but sensitivity remains constant.
