Abstract
A method, medical imaging device and computer program product are disclosed for creating a detailed attenuation value map for a limited body region of a patient for a positron emission tomography examination. In an embodiment, the method includes an acquisition of first attenuation value data from a first attenuation value measurement of the limited body region; an ascertainment of at least one mean attenuation value based upon the first attenuation value data for the limited body region; an acquisition of second attenuation value data from a second attenuation value measurement of the limited body region; an ascertainment of local correction values based upon the second attenuation value data for the limited body region; and a determination of the detailed attenuation value map for the limited body region based upon the at least one mean attenuation value and based upon the local correction values.
