Background-adaptive dual-energy-window correction for Compton scattering in SPECT
Detection of gamma rays which Compton scatter within a patient but are still within the photopeak window of the Anger camera leads to inaccuracies in quantification of radioactivity from nuclear-medicine images. With the dual-energy-window correction method and a single (universal) scatter multiplier, the activity error is relatively large when there is tissue background with a large range of v...
متن کاملScatter correction for 3D PET using beam stoppers combined with dual-energy window acquisition: a feasibility study.
Fully three-dimensional (3D) positron emission tomography (PET) can achieve high sensitivity of coincidence events, but the absence of inter-slice septa inevitably leads to increased scattered events. The scattered events can represent as much as 50% of the total detected events. In this research, we proposed a scatter correction method for 3D PET based on beam stoppers and dual-energy window a...
متن کاملDetermination of the Energy Windows for the Triple Energy Window Scatter Correction Method in Gadolinium-159 Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Using Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: In radionuclide imaging, object scatter is one of the major factors leading to image quality degradation. Therefore, the correction of scattered photons might have a great impact on improving the image quality. Regarding this, the present study aimed to determine the main and sub-energy windows for triple energy window (TEW) scatter correction method usin...
متن کاملSimulation and patient studies of scatter correction in cardiac SPECT imaging
Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging is a nuclear medicine imaging method that is used to detect coronary artery diseases. One of the main sources of error in this imaging method is the detection of Compton scattered photons in the photopeak energy window used for data acquisition. This results in the degradation of the image contrast, and therefore decreases the...
متن کامل[Scatter correction in myocardial thallium SPECT: needs for optimization of energy window settings in the energy window-based scatter correction techniques].
Accuracy and limitation of energy-window based scatter correction techniques have been evaluated for myocardial 201Tl SPECT by means of Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, projection view-dependency of energy distribution of the scattered photons was evaluated. Two geometrical configurations were simulated: namely a homogeneous cylindrical radioactivity located asymmetrically in a homogeneou...
