Which attenuation coefficient to use in combined attenuation and scatter corrections for quantitative brain SPET?
We read with interest the recent paper by Shiga et al. published in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine [1]. The authors report some interesting results concerning the effect of triple-energy window-based scatter correction on brain perfusion SPET using statistical para-metric mapping (SPM) analysis. The research performed is worthwhile and contributes significantly to our understanding of...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging-guided attenuation and scatter corrections in three-dimensional brain positron emission tomography.
Reliable attenuation correction represents an essential component of the long chain of modules required for the reconstruction of artifact-free, quantitative brain positron emission tomography (PET) images. In this work we demonstrate the proof of principle of segmented magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided attenuation and scatter corrections in three-dimensional (3D) brain PET. We have devel...
متن کاملScatter and attenuation correction for brain SPECT using attenuation distributions inferred from a head atlas.
UNLABELLED Sequential transmission scanning (TS)/SPECT is impractical for neurologically impaired patients who are unable to keep their heads motionless for the extended duration of the combined scans. To provide an alternative to TS, we have developed a method of inferring-attenuation distributions (IADs), from SPECT data, using a head atlas and a registration program. The validity of replacin...
متن کاملCorrections of PET Data for Photon Attenuation, Scatter and Positron Range
The evaluation of PET data acquired during C therapeutic irradiations initiated a modification of the treatment planning data base improving the precision of the particle range in-vivo [1]. Thus, to an increasing extent delicate therapeutic situations characterized by high dose in close vicinity of organs at risk are treated. The validation of the correctness of such irradiations by means of PE...
متن کاملRelative impact of scatter, collimator response, attenuation, and finite spatial resolution corrections in cardiac SPECT.
UNLABELLED We determined the relative effect of corrections for scatter, depth-dependent collimator response, attenuation, and finite spatial resolution on various image characteristics in cardiac SPECT. METHODS Monte Carlo simulations and real acquisition of a 99mTc cardiac phantom were performed under comparable conditions. Simulated and acquired data were reconstructed using several correc...
