Hi Reza,
I will backtrack from my previous mail. Contrary to what I previously
stated, YES, for the moment you have to provide both an attenuation
image and acf for each events for list-mode attenuation correction in
the release version of CASToR.. This will no longer be the case in the
next release.
Sorry for any confusion :)
