The emission spectra for the spin-1 photon fields are computed when the spacetime is a (4 + n)-dimensional Schwarzschild phase. For the case of the bulk emission we compute the spectra for the vector mode and scalar mode separately. Although the emissivities for the scalar mode is larger than those for the vector mode when n is small, the emissivities for the vector mode photon become dominant ...

Detection of scattered gamma quanta degrades image contrast and quantitative accuracy of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. This paper reviews methods to characterize and model scatter in SPECT and correct for its image degrading effects, both for clinical and small animal SPECT. Traditionally scatter correction methods were limited in accuracy, noise properties and/or ...
