Investigation of Accelerated Monte Carlo Techniques for PET Simulation and 3-D PET Scatter Correction
We have been developing Monte Carlo Techniques for calculating primary and scatter photon distributions in PET. Our first goal has been to accelerate the Monte Carlo Code for fast PET simulation. Our second goal has been to use the simulation to analyze scatter effects in PET and explore the potential for eventual use in scatter correction of clinical 3-D PET studies. We have reduced the execut...
متن کاملValidation of a simplified scatter correction method for 3D brain PET with 15O
OBJECTIVE Positron emission tomography (PET) enables quantitative measurements of various biological functions. Accuracy in data acquisition and processing schemes is a prerequisite for this. The correction of scatter is especially important when a 3D PET scanner is used. The aim of this study was to validate the use of a simplified calculation-based scatter correction method for 15O studies in...
متن کاملStatistical reconstruction-based scatter correction: a new method for 3D PET
Accurate scatter correction is one of the major problems facing quantitative 3D PET and many methods have been developed for the purpose of reducing the resultant degradation of image contrast and loss of quantitative accuracy. A new scatter correction method called Statistical Reconstruction-Based Scatter Correction (SRBSC) is proposed in this paper and evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations,...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of an Improved 3D PET Monte Carlo Simulation and Scatter Correction
We are developing an accelerated Monte Carlo simulation of PET that can be uscd for scatter correction of 3D PET datn. Our Monte Carlo technique accurately accounts for single, multiple, and dual Compton scatter events, attenuation through the patient bed, activity from outside the field of view, and the true energy response of the scanner. We have incorporated innovative sampling techniques th...
متن کاملScatter modelling and correction strategies in fully 3-D PET.
PET offers the possibility of quantitative measurements of tracer concentration in vivo. However, there are several issues that must be considered in order to fully realise this potential. Whilst, a correction for a number of background and physical phenomena need to be performed, the two most significant effects are the photon attenuation in the patient and the contribution in the images of ev...
