PET-MR attenuation correction was based on a built-in CT-based attenuation template of the phantom.
Phantom measurements were performed since for these, both a reference scan without hardware attached and a CT-based attenuation template including hardware could be acquired.
A transmission scan using computed tomography (CT) or rotating rod sources is performed to obtain an attenuation template of the corresponding hardware component [21 24, 30 32].
The proposed strategy features a pre-acquired CT-based 3D attenuation template of the NEMA IQ phantom in conjunction with a phantom holder providing exact and reproducible repositioning of the phantom on the systems patient table.
For Compton scatter correction the reconstructed emission image, the patient MR-derived attenuation map and a CT-derived attenuation template of the MR coils are used as input for the simulation.
Here, MR-detectable markers can be used to perform an automatic non-rigid co-registration of the pre-acquired 3D CT attenuation template to the individual position and shape of the flexible RF during the cardiac PET/MRI examination [26].
