PET/CT imaging artifacts.
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the principles of PET/CT imaging and describe the artifacts associated with it. PET/CT is a new imaging modality that integrates functional (PET) and structural (CT) information into a single scanning session, allowing excellent fusion of the PET and CT images and thus improving lesion localization and interpretation accuracy. Moreover, the CT data can ...
متن کاملEvaluation of 4D CT acquisition methods designed to reduce artifacts
Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D CT) is used to account for respiratory motion in radiation treatment planning, but artifacts resulting from the acquisition and postprocessing limit its accuracy. We investigated the efficacy of three experimental 4D CT acquisition methods to reduce artifacts in a prospective institutional review board approved study. Eighteen thoracic patients scheduled...
متن کامل4D PET/CT as a Strategy to Reduce Respiratory Motion Artifacts in FDG-PET/CT
The improved accuracy in tumor identification with FDG-PET has led to its increased utilization in target volume delineation for radiotherapy treatment planning in the treatment of lung cancer. However, PET/CT has constantly been influenced by respiratory motion-related image degradation, which is especially prominent for small lung tumors in the peri-diaphragmatic regions of the thorax. Here, ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterization of Synthetic Tissue- Equivalent Material for CT Imaging Applications
Introduction: The use of a simple tissue analog material in the fabrication of medical computed tomography (CT) imaging phantoms has great potential to help researchers. The purpose of the present study is to develop new gel tissue-equivalent materials and determine whether their CT numbers and relative electron densities vary in CT images obtained by scans at different energie...
متن کاملsynthesis and characterization of some macrocyclic schiff bases
ماکروسیکلهای شیف باز از اهمیت زیادی در شیمی آلی و دارویی برخوردار می باشند. این ماکروسیکلها با دارابودن گروه های مناسب در مکانهای مناسب می توانند فلزاتی مثل مس، نیکل و ... را در حفره های خود به دام انداخته، کمپلکسهای پایدار تولید نمایند. در این پایان نامه ابتدا یک دی آلدئید آروماتیک از گلیسیرین تهیه می شود و در مرحله بعدی واکنش با دی آمینهای آروماتیک و یا آلیفاتیک در رقتهای بسیار زیاد منجر به ت...
