    Abstract: A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain information about a defective channel of a PET detector at a second point in time later than a first point in time corresponding to a first sensitivity map that is a sensitivity map of the PET detector corresponding to the first point in time and being stored in a storage unit. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a second sensitivity map that is a sensitivity map of the PET detector corresponding to the second point in time, on the basis of the information about the defective channel.

    Abstract: A nuclear medicine diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured: to obtain coincidence data including a direct incidence event to a gamma ray detector and a scattering event in a subject; to obtain an electron density function of the subject and geometric information of the gamma ray detector; to estimate a first probability value corresponding to the direct incidence event in the subject and a second probability value corresponding to the scattering event, based on one or both of the electron density function and the geometric information; and to reconstruct a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image based on the first probability value, the second probability value, and the coincidence data. The processing circuit is configured to reconstruct the PET image based on a system matrix that is based on the first probability value and the second probability value.
