Figure 10.
In-plane (parallel to panels) and orthogonal-plane (perpendicular to panels) reconstructed sphere resolutions versus DOI resolution for the 4 cm and 8 cm panel separation. The spheres of 2.5 mm size were chosen for the comparison. The same phantom as that simulated in figure 6 was used. DOI resolutions from 2 mm to 7 mm were studied. The larger panel separation has no statistically significant impact on the in-plane reconstructed sphere resolution but slightly degrades the orthogonal-plane reconstructed sphere resolution.
