Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to explain the underlying concepts of the most common image reconstruction methods. The question to be answered in this chapter is: how can we use the additional information from a 3D PET scan (as compared to a 2D scan) to improve the signal to noise ratio in the reconstructed image?
