Attenuation Correction in SPECT during Image Reconstruction using an Inverse Monte Carlo Method: A Simulation Study
Introduction: The main goal of SPECT imaging is to determine activity distribution inside the organs of the body. However, due to photon attenuation, it is almost impossible to do a quantitative study. In this paper, we suggest a mathematical relationship between activity distribution and its corresponding projections using a transfer matrix. Monte Carlo simulation was used to find a precise tr...
متن کاملReducing the respiratory motion artifacts in PET cardiology: A simulation study
Introduction: There are several technical features that make PET an ideal device for the noninvasive evaluation of cardiac physiology. Organ motion due to respiration is a major challenge in diagnostic imaging, especially in cardiac PET imaging. These motions reduce image quality by spreading the radiotracer activity over an increased volume, distorting apparent les...
متن کاملNon-uniformity of Clinical Head, Head and Neck, and Body Coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...
متن کاملOptical Diagnostics on ETA-II for X-Rays Spot Size
Gated and streak cameras have been used to look at a high current focused electron beam on a target, and the x-rays produced by that interaction. An optical camera images the optical transition radiation (OTR) from the beam hitting a carbon target to give focused beam profiles. Blackbody radiation from heavy metal targets is experimentally proven to be dominant. The roll bar technique is used a...
متن کاملDosimetric verification of intensity modulated beams produced with dynamic multileaf collimation using an electronic portal imaging device.
Dose distributions can often be significantly improved by modulating the two-dimensional intensity profile of the individual x-ray beams. One technique for delivering intensity modulated beams is dynamic multileaf collimation (DMLC). However, DMLC is complex and requires extensive quality assurance. In this paper a new method is presented for a pretreatment dosimetric verification of these inte...
