Implementation of absolute quantification in small-animal SPECT imaging: Phantom and animal studies.

CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the proposed attenuation correction algorithm based on the first-order Chang's method, as implemented in our dedicated small-animal SPECT system, significantly improves accuracy of the quantitative analysis as well as the absolute quantification.
