Determination of Optimum Planar Imaging Parameters for Small Structures with Diameters Less Than the Resolution of the Gamma Camera
Introduction: The limited spatial resolution of the gamma camera hinders the absolute quantification of planar images of small structures. The imaged structures are affected by partial volume effects (PVEs), which can spread activity and lead to underestimation of the regional distribution. The use of optimum planar parameters reduces the impact of the limited spatial resolution of the gamma c...
متن کاملA new correction method for gamma camera non-uniformity due to energy response variability.
We present a new uniformity correction (Fourier energy correction) which is designed to correct for gamma camera non-uniformity caused by variations of the energy response function within a wide spectral range. A convolution model is used to describe the spatial distortions of the energy response function. The model is solved in Fourier space. A preliminary flood acquisition is required to obta...
متن کاملCalculating Intrinsic and Extrinsic Camera Parameters Based on the PnP Problem
The classical PnP problem is premised on given intrinsic camera parameters. However, for unknown intrinsic camera parameters, given n space points in a world coordinate system and their coordinates in an image coordinate system, the extrinsic camera parameters can be determined. Regarding the existence and uniqueness of a solution for the classical PnP problem, for 4 control points in a plane a...
متن کاملImaging beyond the Pinhole Camera
The world’s first photograph was taken by Joseph Nicphore Niépce (1775–1833) in 1826 on his country estate near Chalon-sur-Sane, France. The photo shows parts of farm buildings and some sky. Exposure time was eight hours. Niépce used a pinhole camera, known as camera obscura, and utilized pewter plates as the support medium for the photographic process. The camera obscura, the basic projection ...
متن کاملConveying Vendor-Specific Constraints in the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) is used to convey path computation requests and responses both between Path Computation Clients (PCCs) and Path Computation Elements (PCEs) and between cooperating PCEs. In PCEP, the path computation requests carry details of the constraints and objective functions that the PCC wishes the PCE to apply in its computation. This document d...
