Energy window setting for optimum Tl-201 cardiac imaging [Persian]
Introduction: Poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio because of low injected thallium dose and presence of scattered photons are the main problems in using thallium in scintigraphic imaging of the heart. Scattered photons are the main cause of degrading the contrast and resolution in SPECT imaging that result in error in quantification. Thallium decay is ve...
متن کاملStudy of the Compton scattering effect of soft tissue in PET imaging by Monte Carlo method
Introduction:In PET imaging, one or both of two annihilation photons may change the direction before reaching the detector due to Compton scattering interaction in body. .Methods:This article, a Monte Carlo simulation study, examined the effect of soft tissue on this error.In this work, the PET BiographTM 6 scanner, a simple geometry of soft tissue -including a sphere of soft tissue in center ...
متن کاملPET Radiopharmaceuticals
PET (positron emission tomography) is a powerful imaging technique that can provide quantitative information on the distribution of positron emitter labeled radiopharmaceuticals (PET radiopharmaceuticals) in the body. Positrons (ß+) are positively charged beta particles. They are emitted when the atom is proton rich. A positron has only a transient existence. After losing all of its kinetic ene...

متن کاملThe Effect of FEW Scatter Correction Method in In-111 Imaging
Introduction: In nuclear medicine imaging, detection of the scattered photons along with the primary photons is one of the major problems that can lead to a decrease in ddiagnostic accuracy. Therefore, use of a suitable scatter correction method can help to improve of the image quality and increase of diagnostic accuracy. The aim of this study is evaluation of five energy wind...
