A New Compton Camera Imaging Model to Mitigate the Finite Spatial Resolution of Detectors and New Camera Designs for Implementation
An intrinsic limitation of the accuracy that can be achieved with Compton cameras results from the inevitable fact that the detectors, which comprise the camera, cannot have infinitely-accurate spatial resolution. To mitigate this loss of accuracy, a new imaging model is proposed. The implementation of the new imaging model, however, requires new camera designs. The results of a computer simula...
متن کاملEffect of compensation for scattering angular uncertainty in analytical Compton camera reconstruction.
In Compton cameras, the measured scattering angle is associated with an uncertainty which becomes larger as the incident gamma-ray energy decreases. Since this uncertainty degrades the spatial resolution of reconstructed images, Hirasawa and Tomitani (2003 Phys. Med. Biol. 48 1009-26) previously revised their analytical reconstruction algorithm to compensate for it. As the new algorithm improve...
متن کاملList-Mode Maximum Likelihood Reconstruction of Compton Scatter Camera Images in Nuclear Medicine1
A Maximum Likelihood (ML) image reconstruction technique using list-mode data has been applied to Compton scattering camera imaging. List-mode methods are appealing in Compton camera image reconstruction because the total number of data elements in the list (the number of detected photons) is significantly smaller than the number of possible combinations of position and energy measurements, lea...
متن کاملList Mode EM Reconstruction of Compton Scatter Camera Images in 3-D1
A method has been developed for List Mode EM reconstruction of Compton scattering camera images in 3-D, using a previously reported 2-D technique and refining and adapting it to three dimensions. Spatial variation in the system sensitivity is determined by an approximate numerical integration which accounts for solid angle effects, absorption and escape probabilities, and variation in the diffe...
متن کاملImproved Modeling of System Response in List Mode EM Reconstruction of Compton Scatter Camera Images'
An improved List Mode EM method for reconstructing Compton scattering camera images has been developed. First, an approximate method for computation of the spatial variation in the detector sensitivity has been derived and validated by Monte Carlo computation. A technique for estimating the relative weight of system matrix coefficients for each gamma in the list has also been employed, as has a...
