a–d Comparison of SPECT image quality of the cylindrical phantom between the energy window settings of 84 keV ± 20% and 84 keV ± 10%. SPECT counts in hot rod (Hr) and background (BKG), and the standard deviation of BKG (SD) were measured. CNR and HBR are defined in the text. MEGP medium-energy general purpose, HEGP high-energy general purpose, CNR contrast-to-noise ratio, HBR hot rod-to-background ratio
