Attenuation compensation in single-photon emission tomography: a comparative evaluation.
Attenuation of photons in single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) makes three-dimensional reconstruction of unknown radioactivity distributions a mathematically intractable problem. Approaches to approximate SPECT reconstruction range from ignoring the effect of photon attenuation to incorporating assumed attenuation coefficients into an iterative reconstruction procedure. We have developed a...
متن کاملAcoustic attenuation compensation in photoacoustic tomography using time-variant filtering.
Most reconstruction algorithms used in photoacoustic tomography do not account for the effects of acoustic attenuation on the recorded signals. For experimental measurements made in biological tissue, the frequency dependent acoustic attenuation causes high frequency components of the propagating photoacoustic waves to be significantly reduced. This signal loss manifests as a depth dependent ma...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography and positron emission tomography-computerized tomography in pediatric patients
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional diagnostic modality, which is routinely used in oncology for diagnosis, staging, monitoring the response to therapy, and restaging of various tumors. PET used in conjunction with computerized tomography (CT) (PET-CT) is more useful as it provides anatomical details and the abnormal uptake on PET can be localized with highest accuracy. Much work...
متن کاملHigh-resolution petrous bone imaging using multi-slice computerized tomography.
Multi-slice computerized tomography (MSCT) is considered to provide superior image quality. We defined a data acquisition protocol for high-resolution (HR) temporal bone imaging using MSCT and assessed its impact on data acquisition and post-processing (PP). The data acquisition protocol was defined in cadaveric phantom studies performed by MSCT and subsequently applied to 38 patients referred ...
متن کاملAn iterative method to estimate x-ray attenuation coefficients in computed tomography
Introduction: The basis of image formation in Computed Tomography (CT) lies in the x-ray linear attenuation coefficient of the scanned material. Compton scattering and photoelectric effect are the dominant interactions of the x-ray photons with the subject, in the range of diagnostic radiology. These two coefficients are important in tissue characterization by Dual-Energy CT (D...
