Single photon emission computed tomography imaging suffers from poor spatial resolution and high statistical noise. Consequently, the contrast of small structures is reduced, the visual detection of defects is limited and precise quantification is difficult. To improve the contrast, it is possible to include the spatially variant point spread function of the detection system into the iterative ...
BACKGROUND Post-therapy SPECT/CT imaging of 90Y microspheres delivered to hepatic malignancies is difficult, owing to the continuous, high-energy Bremsstrahlung spectrum emitted by 90Y. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of a commercially available software package (HybridRecon, Hermes Medical Solutions AB) which incorporates full Monte Carlo collimator modelling. Analysis of image qualit...
objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influences of reconstruction and attenuation correction on the differences in the radioactivity distributions in 123i brain spect obtained by the hybrid spect/ct device. methods: we used the 3-dimensional (3d) brain phantom, which imitates the precise structure of gray mater, white matter and bone regions. it was filled with 123i solution (20...
Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark For a quantitative analysis in positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), attenuation correction (AC) is mandatory. CTscans or transmission scans are common tools for determination of the attenuation μ-map, but in the case of a PET/MR hybrid system it is difficult to associate one of these scans. Ma...
OBJECTIVES We evaluated edge artifacts in relation to phantom diameter and reconstruction parameters in point spread function (PSF)-based positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction. METHODS PET data were acquired from an original cone-shaped phantom filled with 18F solution (21.9 kBq/mL) for 10 min using a Biograph mCT scanner. The images were reconstructed using the baseline ord...
UNLABELLED In general, striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) binding is assessed by use of data reconstructed by filtered backprojection (FBP). The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of an iterative reconstruction algorithm (ordered-subset expectation maximization [OSEM]) may provide results comparable to or even better than those obtained by standard FBP. METHODS In 50 patien...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the influences of reconstruction and attenuation correction on the differences in the radioactivity distributions in (123)I brain SPECT obtained by the hybrid SPECT/CT device. METHODS We used the 3-dimensional (3D) brain phantom, which imitates the precise structure of gray matter, white matter and bone regions. It was filled with (123)I soluti...
Simultaneous rest Tc-Sestamibi / I-BMIPP cardiac SPECT imaging has the potential to replace current clinical Tc-Sestamibi rest/stress imaging and therefore has great potential in the case of patients with chest pain presenting to the emergency department. Separation of images of these two radionuclides is difficult, however, because their emission energies are close. The authors previously deve...
BACKGROUND Full Monte Carlo (MC)-based SPECT reconstructions have a strong potential for correcting for image degrading factors, but the reconstruction times are long. The objective of this study was to develop a highly parallel Monte Carlo code for fast, ordered subset expectation maximum (OSEM) reconstructions of SPECT/CT images. The MC code was written in the Compute Unified Device Architect...
UNLABELLED We studied the bias and variance characteristics of the ordered-subset expectation maximization (OSEM) and rescaled block-iterative EM (RBIEM) iterative reconstruction algorithms in myocardial SPECT under extreme, but realistic, conditions. METHOD We used the 2-dimensional mathematic cardiac torso phantom to simulate 2 patient anatomies: a large male with a raised diaphragm and a f...
