The major accomplishments this year, so far, are (1) validation of Monte Carlo simulation code with scattered, as well as true coincidences, for a variety of scanner geometries, (2) validation of 3-D reprojection-reconstruction algorithm and comparisons to 2-D reconstruction, as a function of the scanner axial extent, using simulated data, (3) initial development of energy window scatter correction technique for use in volume imaging PET, (4) evaluation of high-countrate calibrations and imaging of {sup 15}O brain studies with the UGM PENN-PET.
