Scatter Estimation for PET Reconstruction
This paper presents a Monte Carlo scatter estimation algorithm for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) where positron-electron annihilations induce photon pairs that fly independently in the medium and eventually get absorbed in the detector grid. The path of the photon pair will be a polyline defined by the detector hits and scattering points where one of the photons changed its direction. The ...
متن کاملScatter modelling and correction strategies in fully 3-D PET.
PET offers the possibility of quantitative measurements of tracer concentration in vivo. However, there are several issues that must be considered in order to fully realise this potential. Whilst, a correction for a number of background and physical phenomena need to be performed, the two most significant effects are the photon attenuation in the patient and the contribution in the images of ev...
متن کاملA scatter-corrected list-mode reconstruction and a practical scatter/random approximation technique for dynamic PET imaging.
We describe an ordinary Poisson list-mode expectation maximization (OP-LMEM) algorithm with a sinogram-based scatter correction method based on the single scatter simulation (SSS) technique and a random correction method based on the variance-reduced delayed-coincidence technique. We also describe a practical approximate scatter and random-estimation approach for dynamic PET studies based on a ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Accelerated Monte Carlo Techniques for PET Simulation and 3-D PET Scatter Correction
We have been developing Monte Carlo Techniques for calculating primary and scatter photon distributions in PET. Our first goal has been to accelerate the Monte Carlo Code for fast PET simulation. Our second goal has been to use the simulation to analyze scatter effects in PET and explore the potential for eventual use in scatter correction of clinical 3-D PET studies. We have reduced the execut...
متن کاملScatter correction for positron emission mammography.
In this paper we present a scatter correction method for a regularized list mode maximum likelihood reconstruction algorithm for the positron emission mammograph (PEM) that is being developed at our laboratory. The scatter events inside the object are modelled as additive Poisson random variables in the forward model of the reconstruction algorithm. The mean scatter sinogram is estimated using ...
