We present here the features and validation results of a Monte Carlo-based PET simulation platform designed to address the increasing need of simulated studies. The simulation tool, named PET-SORTEO, includes i) the generation of the raw projections in accordance with both the numerical phantom description as well as with the scanner geometry and physical characteristics, and ii) the correction and reconstruction of the raw data. Validation results show that the platform reliably reproduces the image formation processes and includes correctly the sources of noise and biases |
