Summary of the Pros and Cons of the PET-AC approaches

Inline graphic Pros Inline graphic Cons

✓ MR time for clinical use ✗ Cross-Talk and emission data in all LORs (Joint-based)
✓ Robust to artifacts ✗ Computational cost (Joint-based)
✓ Implants body truncation, hardware attenuation ✗ Extended acquisition time (Tx)
✓ Whole-Body applicability ✗ Noise + additional radiation (Tx)
✗ Accuracy (emission-based)
