Zusammenfassung:	A method of applying scatter and attenuation correction to emission tomography images of a region of interest of a patient under observation comprises the steps of aligning a three-dimensional computer model representing the density distribution within the region of interest with the emission tomography images (56, 58) and applying scatter and attenuation correction to the emission tomography images using the aligned computer model as a guide (60).
