Positron Emission Tomography (PET) projection data or sinogram contained poor statistics and randomness that produced noisy PET images. In order to improve the PET image, we proposed an implementation of pre-reconstruction sinogram filtering based on 3D mean-median filter. The proposed filter is des...
