  1. True coincidences: Two annihilation photons are detected simultaneously by the PET scanner.
  2. Scatter coincidences: One annihilation photon scatters before being detected, creating a false coincidence event.
  3. Random coincidences: Two annihilation photons from different decays are detected simultaneously, leading to a false detection.
  4. Detector dead time: Events that occur when the detectors are unable to detect photons due to being in a recovery state.
  5. Phantom scattering: Events where photons scatter within the phantom being imaged, leading to erroneous signal detection.
