Validation of the physiological background correction method for the suppression of the spill-in effect near highly radioactive regions in positron emission tomography

BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has a wide applicability in oncology, cardiology and neurology. However, a major drawback when imaging very active regions such as the bladder is the spill-in effect, leading to inaccurate quantification and obscured visualisation of nearby lesi...
