Abstract
In the parts (1) and (2) of this tutorial, PET detectors and its signal processing for data acquisition were reviewed. In order to generate accurate images, it is necessary to apply various corrections for PET measurement data containing many kinds of noise components and affected by attenuation of body. In this paper, I explain the reconstruction method to generate PET images by processing the measurement data and applying the various kinds of correction methods.
