Validation of mutual information-based registration of CT and bone SPECT images in dual-isotope studies
The registration of computed tomography (CT) and nuclear medicine (NM) images can substantially enhance patient diagnosis as it allows for the fusion of anatomical and functional information, as well as the attenuation correction of NM images. However, irrespective of the method used, registration accuracy depends heavily on the characteristics of the images that are registered and the degree o...
متن کاملA Novel Subsampling Method for 3D Multimodality Medical Image Registration Based on Mutual Information
Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...

Objective(s): The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance and utility of 99mTc HYNIC-TOC planar scintigraphy and SPECT/CT in the diagnosis, staging and management of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GPNETs). Methods: 22 patients (median age, 46 years) with histologically proven gastroentero-pancreatic NETs underwent 99mTc HYNIC-TOC whole body scintigraphy and regi...
متن کاملTriple-Modality Normalized Mutual Information Based Medical Image Registration of Cardiac PET/CT and SPECT Images
An extension of the normalized mutual information similarity measurement was proposed to register cardiac PET/CT and SPECT images representing coronary artery disease in the heart. 23 PET/CT images obtained by a hybrid camera, and their corresponding SPECT were processed. The SPECT was registered to the PET/CT image pairs by a triple NMI based auto-registration. For validation and comparison an...
متن کاملDual-isotope SPECT using (99m)Tc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate and (201)Tl-chloride to assess mandibular invasion by intraoral squamous cell carcinoma.
UNLABELLED We examined mandibular invasion of intraoral squamous cell carcinoma by simultaneous bone and tumor dual-isotope SPECT using (99m)Tc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-HMDP) and (201)Tl-chloride ((201)Tl) and by CT. METHODS Early and delayed simultaneous bone and tumor dual-isotope SPECT and CT were performed on 39 patients suspected of having tumor invasion of the mandible by...
