Geometric Calibration and Image Reconstruction for a Segmented Slant-Hole Stationary Cardiac SPECT System.
UNLABELLED A dedicated stationary cardiac single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system with a novel segmented slant-hole collimator has been developed. The goal of this paper is to calibrate this new imaging geometry with a point source. METHODS Unlike the commercially available dedicated cardiac SPECT systems, which are specialized and can be used only to image the heart, our pr...
متن کاملSegmented slant hole collimator for stationary cardiac SPECT: Monte Carlo simulations.
PURPOSE This work is a preliminary study of a stationary cardiac SPECT system. The goal of this research is to propose a stationary cardiac SPECT system using segmented slant-hole collimators and to perform computer simulations to test the feasibility. Compared to the rotational SPECT, a stationary system has a benefit of acquiring temporally consistent projections. The most challenging issue i...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of Image Reconstruction Algorithms for a Novel Desktop SPECT System
Objective (s): Various iterative reconstruction algorithms in nuclear medicine have been introduced in the last three decades. For each new imaging system, it is wise to select appropriate image reconstruction algorithms and evaluate their performance. In this study, three approaches of image reconstruction were developed for a novel desktop open-gantry SPECT system, PERSPECT, to assess their p...
متن کاملSystem Calibration and Image Reconstruction for a New Small-Animal SPECT System
A novel small-animal SPECT imager, FastSPECT II, was recently developed at the Center for Gamma-Ray Imaging. FastSPECT II consists of two rings of eight modular scintillation cameras and list-mode data-acquisition electronics that enable stationary and dynamic imaging studies. The instrument is equipped with exchangeable aperture assemblies and adjustable camera positions for selections of magn...
متن کاملThe evaluation of slant hole collimator in myocardial perfusion SPECT: a simulation study
Introduction: We have investigated cardiac SPECT with slant hole collimator in which the holes are slanted towards the target organ, to provide greater sensitivity over the parallel hole collimator. In addition, parallel hole collimator was used to obtain a comparison in FWHM, sensitivity, Compton and photoelectric area values in the simulations. Materials and Methods...
