SPECT Reconstruction Using the Expectation Maximization Algorithm and an Exact Inversion Formula
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop the theory behind the Expectation Maximization algorithm and an exact inversion formula for the attenuated Radon transform, two reconstruction methods used in SPECT. We also implement both methods and present a few numerical experiments.

متن کاملA New Approach for Scatter Removal and Attenuation Compensation from SPECT/CT Images
Objective(s): In SPECT, the sinogram contains scatter and lack of attenuated counts that degrade the reconstructed image quality and quantity. Many techniques for attenuation and scatter correction have been proposed. An acceptable method of correction is to incorporate effects into an iterative statistical reconstruction. Here, we propose new Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximiz...
متن کاملImpact of reconstruction method on quantitative parameters of 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT
Introduction: Quantitative evaluation is recommended to improve diagnostic ability and serial assessment of dopamine transporter (DAT) density scans. We decided to compare the ordered subsets expectation-maximization (OSEM) with filtered back-projection (FBP), and to investigate the impact of different iteration and cut-off frequencies on SBR values. Methods</stro...
متن کاملFast 3D image reconstruction for rotating slat collimated gamma cameras
As an alternative to the use of traditional parallel hole collimators, SPECT imaging can be performed using rotating slat collimators. A gain in image quality could be expected from the higher photon collection efficiency, however, the plane integral data measured by this type of collimator require a reconstruction to invert the three-dimensional (3D) Radon transform. The use of iterative metho...
متن کاملTowards Analytical Solution for 3D SPECT Reconstruction with Non- Uniform Attenuation and Distance-Dependent Resolution Variation: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
Based on Kunyansky’s and our previous work, an efficient, analytical solution to the reconstruction problem of myocardial perfusion SPECT has been developed that allows simultaneous compensation for non-uniform attenuation, scatter, and system-dependent resolution variation, as well as suppression of signal-dependent Poisson noise. To avoid reconstructed images being corrupted by the presence o...
