Abstract Background Different gamma camera calibration factor (CF) geometries have been proposed to convert SPECT data into units of activity concentration. However, no consensus has reached on a standardised geometry. The CF is dependent the selected geometry and further affected by partial volume effects. This study investigated effect two their corresponding recovery coefficients (RCs) quant...
