Cine CT for attenuation correction in cardiac PET/CT.
UNLABELLED In dual-modality PET/CT systems, the CT scan provides the attenuation map for PET attenuation correction. The current clinical practice of obtaining a single helical CT scan provides only a snapshot of the respiratory cycle, whereas PET occurs over multiple respiratory cycles. Misalignment of the attenuation map and emission image because of respiratory motion causes errors in the at...
متن کاملQuantitative material characterization from multi-energy photon counting CT.
PURPOSE To quantify the concentration of soft-tissue components of water, fat, and calcium through the decomposition of the x-ray spectral signatures in multi-energy CT images. METHODS Decomposition of dual-energy and multi-energy x-ray data into basis materials can be performed in the projection domain, image domain, or during image reconstruction. In this work, the authors present methodolo...
متن کاملPhoton counting spectroscopic CT with dynamic beam attenuator
Purpose: Photon counting (PC) computed tomography (CT) can provide material selective CT imaging at lowest patient dose but it suffers from suboptimal count rate. A dynamic beam attenuator (DBA) can help with count rate by modulating x-ray beam intensity such that the low attenuating areas of the patient receive lower exposure, and detector behind these areas is not overexposed. However, DBA ma...
متن کاملPhoton Attenuation Correction in Misregistered Cardiac PET/CT
PET-CT misalignment has been reported as a source of artefacts in cardiac PET/CT due to a biased photon attenuation correction. Using the data from 28 cardiac PET/CT rest/stress examinations, PETCT misalignment was corrected using three different methods: manual registration, automatic mutual information based image registration and an emission-driven correction algorithm. The clinical effects ...
متن کاملPhoton Attenuation Correction in Misaligned PET/CT Cardiac Perfusion Images
The purpose of this work is to understand, quantify and minimize the impact of the emission-transmission misalignment which has been reported as a source of artefacts in cardiac PET/CT. A new and fully automatic correction algorithm is proposed to realign the μ-map contour of the left ventricle to the measured PET. PET/CT NH3 rest/stress scans were acquired for 16 patients in order to evaluate ...
