The table shows the results for data with and without using a phantom calibration for iterative reconstruction with attenuation and scatter/septal penetration reconstruction (ACSC), iterative reconstruction with no corrections (IRNC) and filtered back projection reconstruction, again with no corrections (FBP). The best performance measure for each quantification technique is in bold, while the weakest is shown in italics
