Fast iterative reconstruction for helical pinhole SPECT imaging.
Pinhole SPECT for small animal has become a routine procedure in many applications of molecular biology and pharmaceutical development. There is an increasing demand in the whole body imaging of lab animals. A simple and direct solution is to scan the object along a helical trajectory, similar to a helical CT scan. The corresponding acquisition time can be greatly reduced, while the over-lappin...
متن کاملFast System Matrix Calculation in CT Iterative Reconstruction
Introduction: Iterative reconstruction techniques provide better image quality and have the potential for reconstructions with lower imaging dose than classical methods in computed tomography (CT). However, the computational speed is major concern for these iterative techniques. The system matrix calculation during the forward- and back projection is one of the most time- cons...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of FBP Reconstruction in SPECT Imaging
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to define the optimal parameters for the tomographic reconstruction procedure in a routine single photon emission tomography. The Hoffman brain phantom is modified to evaluate the reconstruction method. The phantom was imaged in a 3 and 2-dimensional conformation and the results were compared. Materials and Methods: The 2D phant...
متن کاملPinhole SPECT vs. Cone-Beam SPECT
In single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), pinhole and cone-beam collimators are used for small object imaging. It is accepted that a pinhole collimator should be used if the object is very small, and the cone-beam collimator should be used if the object is larger. This paper presents criteria to determine which collimation geometry is more advantageous in terms of spatial resolutio...
متن کاملA Reconstruction Algorithm for Helical Cone-Beam SPECT
Cone-beam SPECT provides improved sensitivity for imaging small organs like the brain and heart. However, current cone-beam tomography with the focal point traversing a planar orbit does not acquire sufficient data to give an accurate reconstruction. In this paper, we employ a data-acquisition method which obtains complete data for cone-beam SPECT by simultaneously rotating the gamma camera and...
