On Emission Tomography of Inhomogeneous Media
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of finding the source distribution for particles (or radiation) in a bounded domain D from the emitting flow through the boundary of D is considered. The particles are supposed to move with unit velocity along geodesics of a Riemannian metric and can be absorbed by the medium. The metric and the absorption are known. Uniqueness of the solution to this problem and a stability estimate are obtained under a certain assumption on the absorption and curvature of the metric.

Monte Carlo Study of the Effect of Backscatter Materail Thickness on 99mTc Source Response in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction SPECT projections are contaminated by scatter radiation, resulting in reduced image contrast and quantitative errors. Backscatter constitutes a major part of the scatter contamination in lower energy windows. The current study is an evaluation of the effect of backscatter material on FWHM and image quality investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. Materials and Methods SIMIND program...
متن کاملUltrasonic Computed Tomography
Ultrasonic Computed Tomography (UCT) is a full digital imaging technique, which consists in numerically solving the inverse scattering problem associated to the forward scattering problem describing the interaction of ultrasonic waves with inhomogeneous media. For weakly inhomogeneous media such as soft tissues, various approximations of the solution of the forward problem (straight ray approxi...
متن کاملImage Optimization in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography by Hardware Modifications with Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), the projection data used for image reconstruction are distorted by several factors, including attenuation and scattering of gamma rays, collimator structure, data acquisition method, organ motion, and washout of radiopharmaceuticals. All these make reconstruction of a quantitative SPECT image very difficult. Simulation of a SP...

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by impaired glucose metabolism and demonstration of amyloid plaques. Individual positron emission tomography tracers may reveal specific signs of pathology that is not readily apparent on inspection of another one. Combination of multitracer positron emission tomography imaging yields promising results. In this paper, 57 Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging ini...
متن کامل3 - D photon treatment planning using FFT convolution
A theory is presented on dose calculations in inhomogeneous media that takes advantage of fast Fourier transform (FFT) convolution for practical 3-D treatment planning using photon beams. We derived a new correction dose formula which corrects the dose deposited by the Compton rst scattered photons due to the presence of inhomogeneities. We justiied theoretically why the convolution primary dos...
