Simulation 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 کاملA new approach to scatter correction in SPECT images based on Klein_Nishina equation
Introduction: Scattered photon is one of the main defects that degrade the quality and quantitative accuracy of nuclear medicine images. Accurate estimation of scatter in projection data of SPECT is computationally extremely demanding for activity distribution in uniform and non-uniform dense media. Methods: The objective of this paper is to develop and validate a scatter correction technique ...
متن کاملScatter correction improvement based on the Convolution Subtraction Technique in SPECT imaging
SPECT is a tomography technique that can greatly show information about the metabolic activity in the body and improve the clinical diagnosis. In this paper, a convolution subtraction technique is proposed for scatter compensation in SPECT imaging. In simulation with Gate, 128 projections were simulated evenly spaced over 360° by a circular orbit, each with 128 bins. Simulation results show tha...
متن کاملMonte-Carlo-Based Scatter Correction for Quantitative SPECT Reconstruction
Quantitative SPECT as well as simultaneous acquisition of multiple isotopes with SPECT in the clinical field, although clinically interesting, are still limited by reconstruction artifacts and computing power. As a considerable step in this direction, we have implemented an efficient reconstructor with variance reduced Monte-Carlo-simulation in the forward and/or backward projection of an OS-EM...
