Optimisation of Simultaneous Tl-201/Tc-99m Dual Isotope Reconstruction with Monte-Carlo-Based Scatter Correction
Simultaneous Tl-201/Tc-99m dual isotope myocardial perfusion SPECT is seriously hampered by down-scatter from Tc-99m into the Tl-201 energy window. This paper presents and optimises the ordered-subsets-expectation-maximisation-(OS-EM-) based reconstruction algorithm, which corrects the down-scatter using an efficient Monte Carlo (MC) simulator. The algorithm starts by first reconstructing the T...
متن کاملMonte-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 کاملRapid SPECT simulation of downscatter in non-uniform media.
A rotation-based Monte Carlo (MC) simulation method (RMC) has been developed, designed for rapid calculation of downscatter through non-uniform media in SPECT. A possible application is downscatter correction in dual isotope SPECT. With RMC, only a fraction of all projections of a SPECT study have to be MC simulated in a standard manner. The other projections can be estimated rapidly using the ...
متن کاملAttenuation Correction in SPECT during Image Reconstruction using an Inverse Monte Carlo Method: A Simulation Study
Introduction: The main goal of SPECT imaging is to determine activity distribution inside the organs of the body. However, due to photon attenuation, it is almost impossible to do a quantitative study. In this paper, we suggest a mathematical relationship between activity distribution and its corresponding projections using a transfer matrix. Monte Carlo simulation was used to find a precise tr...
