Abstract:
One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving a dataset associated with a plurality of photon emission events interacting with a detector array of an imaging device; identifying a first subset of the dataset associated with a plurality of unscattered photon emission events from the plurality of photon emission events; identifying a second subset of the dataset associated with at least one scattered photon event from the plurality of photon emission events; determining, for a scattered photon event, a likely location of emission of the scattered photon event using data from the first subset of the dataset associated with the plurality of unscattered photon events; and correcting the dataset by associating the scattered photon event with the determined likely location of emission. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claim (Index 20):
A product, comprising:\n a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising: code that receives a dataset associated with a plurality of photon emission events interacting with a detector array of an imaging device, wherein the dataset contains at least one characteristic of each of the plurality of photon emission events including a spatial position and an energy identified using single photon emission computed tomography; code that identifies a first subset of the dataset associated with a plurality of unscattered photon emission events from the plurality of photon emission events; code that identifies a second subset of the dataset associated with at least one scattered photon event from the plurality of photon emission events, wherein the identifying a second subset of the dataset associated with at least one scattered photon event comprises estimating a scatter fraction in the photopeak energy window for each pixel within the received image; code that determines, for a scattered photon event, a likely location of emission of the scattered photon event using data from the first subset of the dataset associated with the plurality of unscattered photon events based upon the at least one characteristic; code that corrects the dataset by associating the scattered photon event with the determined likely location of emission; and\n code that provides, to a system, an image generated from the corrected dataset.
