Gamma detector dead time correction using Lambert W function

BACKGROUND: For therapeutic applications of several isotopes (e.g., (131)I, (153)Sm, (177)Lu) in nuclear medicine, the high activities typically applied require accurate dead time correction in early time point imaging. We present a novel, straightforward dead time correction method using the Lamber...
