Scatter factor, a stimulant of epithelial cell motility, and Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) were compared by cross-biological studies using naturally occurring and recombinant proteins in four bioassays. Both scatter factor and HGF produced similar effects in cell motility and DNA synthesis assays. Antibodies to scatter factor or HGF neutralized the biological activities of each cytokine, and i...
Introduction. It is well known that resolution on a gamma camera varies as a function of distance, scatter and the camera's characteristics (collimator type, crystal thickness, intrinsic resolution etc). Manufacturers frequently provide only a few pre-calculated resolution values (using a line source in air, 10-15 cm from the collimator surface and without scattering). However, these are typica...
The application of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has enabled the delivery of high doses to the target volume while sparing the surrounding normal tissues. The drawbacks of intensity modulation, as implemented using a computer controlled multileaf collimator (MLC), are the larger number of monitor units (MUs) and longer beam-on time as compared with conventional radiotherapy. Addi...
UNLABELLED Myocardial perfusion imaging with SPECT remains critically important for diagnosing, assessing, and evaluating treatment of coronary artery disease. However, conventional rotational SPECT suffers from prolonged study times because of relatively low detection efficiency. We therefore have investigated a multipinhole collimator that could improve the detection efficiency in cardiac SPE...
Simultaneous acquisition of dual-isotope SPECT data offers a number of advantages over separately acquired data; however, simultaneous acquisition can result in cross-contamination between isotopes. In this work we propose and evaluate two frameworks for iterative model-based compensation of cross-contamination in dual-isotope SPECT. The methods were applied to cardiac imaging with technetium-9...
Radiation therapy treatment planning for many clinical situations requires wedgeshaped isodose distributions. The wedged dose distributions can be generated through the use of physical wedges (PWs), motorized wedges and the synchronization of jaw or multileaf collimator dynamic motion with accelerator dose output. Modern medical accelerators are usually equipped with a dynamic wedge (DW) option...
Autoradiography (ARG) has been used for quantitative analysis of the cerebral blood flow using 123I-IMP, and the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) can be assessed more accurately with scatter and attenuation correction. Currently, the filtered back projection (FBP) method is generally used for image reconstruction. However, we anticipate obtaining more accurate rCBF by the ordered ...
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in dopamine transporter SPECT images among different SPECT/CT devices and to determine the most appropriate region of interest (ROI) for semiquantitative evaluation. METHODS An anthropomorphic striatal phantom was filled with (123)I solutions of different striatum-to-background radioactivity ratios. Data were acquired using 2 SPECT/...
The main purpose of this work is to demonstrate a practical means of determining the leaf transmission and scatter characteristics of a multileaf collimator (MLC) pertinent to the commissioning of dynamic intensity modulated radiotherapy, especially for the sweeping window technique. The data are necessary for the conversion of intensity distributions produced by intensity-modulated radiotherap...
