For Monte Carlo simulations to be used as an alternative solution perform scatter correction, accurate modelling of the scanner well speed is paramount. General-purpose packages (Geant4, EGS, MCNP) allow a detailed description but are not efficient at simulating voxel-based geometries (patient images). On other hand, dedicated codes (SimSET, PETSIM) will for objects poor in their capacity complex such PET scanner. The approach adopted this work was couple code (SimSET) with general-purpose...
