Pinhole SPECT vs. Cone-Beam SPECT
نویسنده
چکیده
In single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), pinhole and cone-beam collimators are used for small object imaging. It is accepted that a pinhole collimator should be used if the object is very small, and the cone-beam collimator should be used if the object is larger. This paper presents criteria to determine which collimation geometry is more advantageous in terms of spatial resolution and detection sensitivity.

A skew-slit collimator for small-animal SPECT.
UNLABELLED The main objective of this work was the development of a skew-slit collimator for small-animal SPECT to replace the state-of-the-art multipinhole collimator. METHODS A pinhole forms a cone-beam imaging geometry. If the collimator rotates around the object in a circular orbit, the projection measurements acquired by the cone-beam imaging geometry are incomplete and not enough for ar...
متن کامل99mTc-Sestamibi/123I Subtraction SPECT/CT in Parathyroid Scintigraphy: Is Additional Pinhole Imaging Useful?
Objectives This retrospective study evaluated whether the use of additional anterior 99mTc-sestamibi/123I pinhole imaging improves the outcome of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I subtraction SPECT/CT in parathyroid scintigraphy (PS). Materials and Methods PS using simultaneous dual-isotope subtraction methods and an acquisition protocol combining SPECT/CT and planar pinhole imaging was performed for 175 ...
متن کاملAccurate Coregistration between Ultra-High-Resolution Micro-SPECT and Circular Cone-Beam Micro-CT Scanners
Introduction. Spatially registering SPECT with CT makes it possible to anatomically localize SPECT tracers. In this study, an accurate method for the coregistration of ultra-high-resolution SPECT volumes and multiple cone-beam CT volumes is developed and validated, which does not require markers during animal scanning. Methods. Transferable animal beds were developed with an accurate mounting i...
متن کاملTc-MIBI PINHOLE SPECT IN PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM: COMPARISON WITH CONVENTIONAL SPECT, PLANAR SCINTIGRAPHY AND ULTRASONOGRAPHY
Purpose A pinhole collimator is routinely used to increase the resolution of scintigraphy. This prospective study was conducted to determine the interest of Tc-MIBI pinhole SPECT for the preoperative localization of parathyroid lesions in primary hyperparathyroidism. Methods All patients underwent a neck US, TcO4 and Tc-MIBI planar images, and two consecutive SPECT with a parallel (C-SPECT) and...
متن کاملA Generalized Model for 3D Compton Scatter in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Using Slice-by-Slice Blurring and Scatter Projection Rebinning
The modeling of 3D Compton scatter in SPECT is complicated by the use of a variety of collimator geometry. To date, effective and efficient modeling of 3D Compton scatter in parallel-beam SPECT has been made possible by Frey and Tsui [1], Zeng et al [2], and Bai et al [3]. For fan-beam and cone-beam SPECT, the model in [3] can effectively model first order 3D Compton scatter. But for varying-fo...
