Abstract

A method of reconstruction of a radioactive emission image. The method comprises providing a first system of voxels for a region of interest, obtaining radioactive-emission data from the region of interest, performing a first reconstruction, based on the radioactive-emission data and the first system of voxels, to obtain a first image, correcting the first system of voxels, by aligning voxel boundaries with object boundaries, based on the first image; thus obtaining a second system of voxels, and performing a second reconstruction, based on the radioactive-emission data and the second system of voxels, thus obtaining a second image.
