Slit slat collimator optimization with respect to MTF.
Conventional single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) collimators are not suitable for 511 keV imaging. In order to use a SPECT system for single positron emission tomography (SPET), we need to design high-efficiency collimators capable of absorbing 511 keV photons. Slit slat (SS) collimators have been proposed for this purpose even though the optimization of such collimators has not ...
متن کاملApproximate expression for the geometric response and the index of resolution of focused collimators.
In a recent paper (1) Vetter showed that the image quality of a radionuclide scan perceived by an observer can be correlated with the half-flux reso lution distance which is defined as the diameter of the circle centered at the ideal image point which circumscribed one half of the total flux contained in the image of a point source. In a second paper (2 ), he presents a practical method to eval...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Direct Measurement of Geometric Wakefields from Tapered Rectangular Collimators
We present a direct measurement of the short-range wakefield of a series of tapered collimators. The wakefields were measured by inserting a fixed aperture in the path of the electron beam at the 1.19 GeV point of the SLAC linac. As the vertical position of the collimator is varied, the vertical deflection of the beam is measured on 29 downstream beam position monitors. A series of apertures wi...
متن کاملCollimator design for a clinical brain SPECT/MRI insert
The Institute of Nuclear Medicine, University College London, London, UK This project’s goal is to design a SPECT insert for a clinical MRI system for simultaneous brain SPECT/MR imaging. We assume the stationary SPECT insert will consist of two rings of ∼5x5-cm SiPM-based detectors insensitive to magnetic fields, with 0.8-mm intrinsic resolution. The maximum diameter is 44.5 cm, the minimum di...
