Partial Volume Correction in PET/CT
In this thesis, a two-dimensional pixel-wise deconvolution method for partial volume correction (PVC) for combined Positron Emission Tomography and Computer Tomography (PET/CT) imaging has been developed. The method is based on Van Cittert's deconvolution algorithm and includes a noise reduction method based on adaptive smoothing and median filters. Furthermore, a technique to take into account...
متن کاملPartial Volume Correction Strategies in PET.
In the early days of PET, the partial volume effect (PVE) was identified as a serious factor affecting image quality and limiting the accuracy of quantitative analysis. Because of the limited spatial resolution of clinical PET systems, the images are blurred by the system response so that smaller objects appear larger. Although the total number of counts is preserved, they are distributed over ...
متن کاملStatistical Based PET Partial Volume Correction
The partial volume effect in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a problem for quantitative radiotracer studies. This effect results from the limited spatial resolution of the imaging device (a few mm’s). Two factors are involved; the spillover of radioactivity into neighbouring regions and the underlying tissue inhomogeneity of the particular region. Linear methods are currently used to corr...
متن کاملPartial-volume effect in PET tumor imaging.
PET has the invaluable advantage of being intrinsically quantitative, enabling accurate measurements of tracer concentrations in vivo. In PET tumor imaging, indices characterizing tumor uptake, such as standardized uptake values, are becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of monitoring the response to therapy. However, when tracer uptake in small tumors is measured, large bi...
متن کاملEstablishment of an open database of realistic simulated data for evaluation of partial volume correction techniques in brain PET/MR
Instituto de Biofísica e Engenharia Biomédica, FC-UL, Lisboa, Portugal The Partial Volume (PV) effect in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging leads to loss in quantification accuracy, which manifests in PV effects (small objects occupy partially the sensitive volume of the imaging instrument, resulting in blurred images). Simultaneous acquisition of PET and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI...
