Image reconstruction in 2D SPECT with 180◦ acquisition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work concerns 2D SPECT imaging with uniform attenuation in the activity region. In this paper, it is shown that exact and stable reconstruction does not require the data to be known over 360◦ as has been previously assumed. An angular range of 180◦ is sufficient in parallel-beam geometry. A reconstruction formula which uses only data on a half-turn is provided with implementation details. Simulations are performed to support the mathematical result.

A New Approach for Quantitative Evaluation of Reconstruction Algorithms in SPECT
ABTRACT Background: In nuclear medicine, phantoms are mainly used to evaluate the overall performance of the imaging systems and practically there is no phantom exclusively designed for the evaluation of the software performance. In this study the Hoffman brain phantom was used for quantitative evaluation of reconstruction techniques. The phantom is modified to acquire t...
