Comparing 511 keV Attenuation Maps Obtained from Different Energy Mapping Methods for CT Based Attenuation Correction of PET Data
Introduction: The advent of dual-modality PET/CT scanners has revolutionized clinical oncology by improving lesion localization and facilitating treatment planning for radiotherapy. In addition, the use of CT images for CT-based attenuation correction (CTAC) decreases the overall scanning time and creates a noise-free attenuation map (6map). CTAC methods include scaling, s...
متن کاملHigh-Frequency Material-Dependent Scattering Processes for Tilted Truncated Cylindrical and Disk-Shaped Targets
When evaluating potential applications of high-frequency scattering by targets, it is important to be able to anticipate which features of the scattering may be attributed to material properties of the target and which features would also be present for rigid targets. These concerns may be especially important for the classification of completely exposed and partially buried targets. The overvi...

متن کاملSegmented Attenuation Correction for PET
We describe a hybrid measured/calculated method for attenuation correction in positron emission tomography (PET). This unified reconstruction/segmentation method is based on a penalized weighted least-squares (PWLS) objective function that is minimized using iterative coordinate-descent (ICD). Two penalty functions are compared; one for a discrete object parameterization, the other for a contin...
متن کاملMicrowave Scattering Models for Cylindrical Vegetation Components
This work is intended to investigate the accuracy of modelling simple cylindrical vegetation structures for microwave remote sensing applications. Plane wave scattering by dielectric cylinders of finite length and circular cross section is examined. Cylinders with a radius that varies linearly along the cylinder length — hereafter referred to as tapered cylinders — are also considered. Exact ex...
