Iterative Reconstruction of SPECT Images Using Adaptive Multi-level Refinement
We present a novel method for iterative reconstruction of high resolution images. Our method is based on the observation that constant regions in an image can be represented at much lower resolution than region with fine details. Therefore, we combine adaptive refinement based on quadtrees with iterative reconstruction to reduce the computational costs. In our experiments we found a speed up fa...
متن کاملEvaluation of iterative reconstruction method and attenuation correction on brain dopamine transporter SPECT using anthropomorphic striatal phantom
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to determine the optimal reconstruction parameters for iterative reconstruction in different devices and collimators for dopamine transporter (DaT) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The results were compared between filtered back projection (FBP) and different attenuation correction (AC) methods.Methods: An anthropomorphic striatal phant...
متن کاملMediastinal neurilemmoma demonstrated by positive Tc-99m(V) DMSA SPECT and negative Ga-67 uptake.
Schwannoma is a benign neurogenic tumor arising from the sheath of a peripheral nerve. Tc-99m(V) DMSA, developed by Yokoyama et al. in 1981, has been recognized as advantageous for the scintigraphic diagnosis of various malignant tumors and their metastases. Uptake of Tc-99m(V) DMSA was seen not only in malignant tumors but also in benign lesions. Tc-99m(V) DMSA has been reported to accumulate ...
متن کاملInfluences of reconstruction and attenuation correction in brain SPECT images obtained by the hybrid SPECT/CT device: evaluation with a 3‐dimensional brain phantom
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...
متن کاملDevelopment of Ga-67 Maltolate Complex as an Imaging Agent
Due to the antitumor activity of Gallium MAL complex, as well as recent findings on new targeted biomolecules in malignant cells through this complex, the development of radiolabeled gallium complex for future imaging studies was targeted. Ga-67 labeled 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-onate (Ga-67 MAL) was prepared using freshly prepared Ga-67 chloride and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-onate in a...
