ABSTRACT:
A gamma camera is calibrated at different photon energies to provide several different calibration arrays. The calibration arrays are used to correct the camera image according to the energy of the photons detected from the body to be examined. The calibration array obtained from the photons having an energy closest to the photons detected from the body may be used. Another alternative is to form an interpolation array based on two or more calibration arrays obtained with photons having energies bracketing those from the body.
