Monte-Carlo simulation for scatter correction compensation studies in SPECT imaging using GATE software package
Simulations using Monte-Carlo packages are increasingly used in Nuclear Imaging, both for PET and SPECT applications. Either for modeling imaging systems or developing algorithms for analysis and improvement of image quantification. The aim of this work is the study of several scatter phenomena and the evaluation and improvement of two scatter correction compensation methods in pixelized scinti...
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...
متن کاملEvaluation of scatter correction methods using Monte Carlo simulation in non uniform media
The detection of scattered photons affects both image quality and accuracy of quantitation accuracy in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). The aim of this work was to evaluate three scatter correction methods: Jaszczak subtraction, the triple energy window method and an artificial neural network based approach. This evaluation was performed not only in terms of contrast and spat...
متن کاملEvaluation of 3D Monte Carlo-based scatter correction for 201Tl cardiac perfusion SPECT.
UNLABELLED (201)Tl-Chloride ((201)Tl) is a myocardial perfusion SPECT agent with excellent biochemical properties commonly used for assessing tissue viability. However, cardiac (201)Tl SPECT images are severely degraded by photons scattered in the thorax. Accurate correction for this scatter is complicated by the nonuniform density and varied sizes of thoraxes, by the additional attenuation and...
متن کاملEvaluation of 3D Monte Carlo-based scatter correction for 99mTc cardiac perfusion SPECT.
UNLABELLED Cardiac SPECT images are degraded by photons scattered in the thorax. Accurate correction for scatter is complicated by the nonuniform density and varied sizes of thoraxes and by the additional attenuation and scatter caused by female patients' breasts. Monte Carlo simulation is a general and accurate method for detailed modeling of scatter. Hence, for 99mTc we compared statistical r...
