    <div class="sphx-glr-thumbcontainer" tooltip="In a scanner with &quot;cylindrical symmetry&quot;, all possible lines of response (LORs) between two LOR endpoints can be sorted into a sinogram containing a radial, view and plane dimension. This example shows how this can be done using the .RegularPolygonPETLORDescriptor">

We also show how to define a LOR descriptor for this geometry using a description of which block pairs are in coincidence.">

Ring pairs are sorted by segment (a function of the ring difference rd = e - s) and, within each segment, by axial midpoint s + e.">
