ABSTRACT:
A method and system for normalization of a positron emission tomography system is provided. The method includes acquiring three-dimensional normalization scan data from a positron emission tomography system with at least one septum and determining a down-sampling factor based in part on the configuration of the at least one septum. The method further includes modifying the three-dimensional normalization scan data using the down-sampling factor.
