PET image has relatively low resolution, and partial
volume effect (PVE) is one of the major reason for this.
Hybrid PET-MRI system offers us a great opportunity to
synthesis PET and MRI, and MRI can provide PET with high
resolution anatomical image which is a great
supplementary information to correct PVE. In traditional
method, point spread function is usually used to
described PVE and is regarded as a spatial invariant
constant which is not true in real PET system. In this
work, we proposed a new method that considered spatial
variant point spread function.
