IntroductionIodine-124 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (124I PET/CT) is increasingly being used in the absorbed dose estimation in the radioiodine treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, the produced prompt gamma coincidences (PGCs) associated with the 124I decay
