  • Abstract
    List-mode data collected in a positron-emission tomography system having time-of-flight measurements are three dimensional, but all algorithms which have been published to date operate on two-dimensional data derived from these three-dimensional data. We argue in this paper that the additional information present in the three-dimensional data is useful for improving reconstructions of images.
