Description

If to use a normalization phantom which is smaller than the PET's FOV it creates 0 values in the edges of the "norm. factors" sinogram. Later, when I use "estimate_scatters", the additive sinogram gets "white or blank borders" ( because of 0 values of the norm. factors. Is it OK?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the case described: use a normalization phantom smaller than the PET field of view, inspect the resulting norm. factors sinogram, and then run estimate_scatters. Determine whether the zero edge values and white borders are expected; completion is not defined by the issue beyond resolving that question.
