Pro-NM Performance

The phantom for NM and PET systems performance evaluation (collimator, artifacts, calibration, reconstruction parameters). It can be used to evaluate, for example: center-of-rotation error, non-uniformity artifacts, changes of radius-of-rotation on spatial resolution, reconstruction filters on spatial resolution, attenuation and scatter compensation.
