Abstract
The solution to the scatter problem remains a major technical challenge in gamma ray imaging. This paper presents a modelization of apparent images fo rmed by scattered photons at various energies. It may be used either to gen erate a series of realistic multi-energy images or be included in an image enhancement procedure.
