2D-/3D-PET 2D-PET • Geometric collimation with septa • Data sampling only with θ=0°

3D-PET • Projections at polar angles θ>0°

measured • Increased sensitivity

• Lower overall sensitivity • Lower fraction of scattered photons

• Higher scatter fraction • Special reconstruction algorithms are necessary
