Abstract

A method for use in dirty isotope positron imaging uses information about a measured characteristic of an object (118) to generate a spurious coincidence correction. The spurious imaging correction is applied to data from a positron imaging examination of the object. The corrected data is used to generate a human readable image indicative of the object.
