Monte-Carlo-Based Scatter Correction for Quantitative SPECT Reconstruction
Quantitative SPECT as well as simultaneous acquisition of multiple isotopes with SPECT in the clinical field, although clinically interesting, are still limited by reconstruction artifacts and computing power. As a considerable step in this direction, we have implemented an efficient reconstructor with variance reduced Monte-Carlo-simulation in the forward and/or backward projection of an OS-EM...
متن کاملOptimization of a SPECT system for imaging of 90Y in liver using Monte Carlo method
Introduction: Acquiring a high quality image has assigned an important concern for obtaining accurate diagnosis in nuclear medicine. Detector and collimator are critical component of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging system for giving accurate information from exact pattern of radionuclide distribution in the target organ. The images are strongly affect...
متن کاملQuantitative SPECT reconstruction using CT-derived corrections.
A method for achieving quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) based upon corrections derived from x-ray computed tomography (CT) data is presented. A CT-derived attenuation map is used to perform transmission-dependent scatter correction (TDSC) in conjunction with non-uniform attenuation correction. The original CT data are also utilized to correct for partial volume ef...
متن کاملQuantitative SPECT reconstruction of iodine-123 data.
Many clinical and research studies in nuclear medicine require quantitation of iodine-123 (123I) distribution for the determination of kinetics or localization. The objective of this study was to implement several reconstruction methods designed for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using 123I and to evaluate their performance in terms of quantitative accuracy, image artifacts,...
متن کاملMonte Carlo-based quantitative pinhole SPECT reconstruction using a ray-tracing back-projector
BACKGROUND Monte Carlo simulations provide accurate models of nuclear medicine imaging systems as they can properly account for the full physics of photon transport. The accuracy of the model included in the maximum-likelihood-expectation-maximization (ML-EM) reconstruction limits the overall accuracy of the reconstruction results. In this paper, we present a Monte Carlo-based ML-EM reconstruct...
