Relevance of accurate Monte Carlo modeling in nuclear medical imaging.
Monte Carlo techniques have become popular in different areas of medical physics with advantage of powerful computing systems. In particular, they have been extensively applied to simulate processes involving random behavior and to quantify physical parameters that are difficult or even impossible to calculate by experimental measurements. Recent nuclear medical imaging innovations such as sing...
متن کاملBremsstrahlung imaging from the liver using the Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Most beta and gamma radiation radioisotopes used for treatment are not suitable for imaging. The bremsstrahlung images on a conventional gamma camera helped to localize the radionuclide within and outside of the lesion. Secondary scattering of gamma rays of higher energy and bremsstrahlung causes contamination in the energy window and reducing the contrast and resolution of the im...
متن کاملOptimization of a SPECT system for imaging of 90Y in liver using Monte Carlo method
Introduction: Acquiring a high quality image has assigned an important concern for obtaining accurate diagnosis in nuclear medicine. Detector and collimator are critical component of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging system for giving accurate information from exact pattern of radionuclide distribution in the target organ. The images are strongly affect...
متن کاملStudy of the Compton scattering effect of soft tissue in PET imaging by Monte Carlo method
Introduction:In PET imaging, one or both of two annihilation photons may change the direction before reaching the detector due to Compton scattering interaction in body. .Methods:This article, a Monte Carlo simulation study, examined the effect of soft tissue on this error.In this work, the PET BiographTM 6 scanner, a simple geometry of soft tissue -including a sphere of soft tissue in center ...
متن کاملAbsorbed dose of Fetus in SPECT-CT Imaging of Mother's Abdomen Regions using Monte Carlo method
SPECT-CT is an imaging method for diagnosing diseases and studying physiology of the body. In this type of imaging, due to the use of radiopharmaceutical for imaging (SPECT) and X-rays (CT), a relatively high dose of radiation is introduced into the patient. If the patient is pregnant, considering that the developing fetus is sensitive to any radiation in the uterus throughout the entire period...
