title: Monte Carlo simulations verifying sampling schemes in multislice mode PET.
abstract: GATE Monte Carlo simulations are performed to verify sampling schemes in multislice mode PET. Two types of scanner were simulated. The effect of attenuation and scatter were investigated by simulating a realistic phantom. The results are in accordance with the theoretical expectations.
