Figure Lengend Snippet: ARF tables generated for the high-energy collimator of the SIEMENS Symbia T clinical SPECT system when considering 364keV emitted photons. (A) ARFr table. (B) ARFa table. (C) ARF profiles for 0° polar angle: ARFr vs. ARFa table for the clinical SPECT system. The X-axis units are for the parameterization of cosθ (cosθ ranges from 0 to 1 and is binned in 2048 bins but only the first 750).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Projection images of a 364keV point source in air for the collimator/detector of the GATE SPECT benchmark (A, B and C) and the SIEMENS Symbia T SPECT system (G, H and I). The image contrast was enhanced to highlight the common star structure. (A) and (G): Images computed with the ARFa table. (B) and (H): Images computed with the ARFr table. (C) and (I): Images computed with sGATE. X-axis profile for ARF-GATE computed using the ARFr table (red), the ARFa table (blue) and sGATE (black) for the GATE SPECT benchmark (D, E and F) and the SIEMENS Symbia T SPECT system (J, K and L). The line profile are drawn in black on the ARFa projection for the GATE SPECT benchmark and the SIEMENS Symbia T SPECT system.
