Until recently, the most widely used methods for image reconstruction were direct analytic techniques. Iterative techniques, although computationally much more intensive, produce improved images (principally arising from more accurate modeling of the acquired projection data), enabling these techniques to replace analytic techniques not only in research settings but also in the clinic. This art...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a high resolution (HR) image reconstruction with a voxel size of 2mm in comparison to the most routinely used standard reconstruction with 4mm voxels in patients suffering from prostate cancer having undergone (18)F-methylcholine PET/CT. Phantom studies were performed using a Jaszczak phantom and a custom made phantom containing small hot lesio...
The purpose was to evaluate and correct the co-registration of diagnostic PET/CT and MRI/MRI images for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using 3D volumetric image registration (3DVIR). The 3DVIR utilizes the homogeneity of color distribution over a volumetric anatomical landmark as the registration criterion with submillimeter accuracy. Fifty-three PET/CT and MRI (T1, T2 and FLAIR) image sets of...
We implemented an iterative nonrigid registration algorithm to accurately combine functional (PET) and anatomical (MRI) images in 3D. Our method relies on a Finite Element Method (FEM) and a set of fiducial skin markers (FSM) placed on breast surface. The method is applicable if the stress conditions in the imaged breast are virtually the same in PET and MRI. In the first phase, the displacemen...
UNLABELLED PET/MRI is an emerging dual-modality imaging technology that requires new approaches to PET attenuation correction (AC). We assessed 2 algorithms for whole-body MRI-based AC (MRAC): a basic MR image segmentation algorithm and a method based on atlas registration and pattern recognition (AT&PR). METHODS Eleven patients each underwent a whole-body PET/CT study and a separate multibed...
Patient motion due to respiration can lead to artefacts and blurring in positron emission tomography (PET) images, in addition to quantification errors. The integration of PET with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in PET-MR scanners provides complementary clinical information, and allows the use of high spatial resolution and high contrast MR images to monitor and correct motion-corrupted PET da...
Background: Intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography with harmonic power Doppler imaging (HPDI) enables assessment of myocardial perfusion. Its accuracy in comparison with positron emission tomography (PET), which is one of the most reliable clinical gold standards for myocardial perfusion, remains to be determined. Objective: To assess the ability of HPDI to identify myocardial perfusi...
Novel time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) scanner solutions demand, apart from the state-of-the-art detectors, software for fast processing of the gathered data, monitoring of the whole scanner, and reconstruction of the PET image. In this article, we present an analysis framework for the novel STRIP-PET scanner developed by the J-PET collaboration in the Institute of Physics ...
Drawing regions of interest (ROIs) in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) NU-2 Image Quality (IQ) phantom is a time-consuming process that allows for interuser variability in the measurements. In order to reduce operator effort and allow batch processing of IQ phantom images, we propose a fast, robust, autom...
In combined PET/MR, the high soft tissue contrast of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the functional information of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are combined in one machine. Although this combination still poses many technological challenges, recent progress [1] indicates that it is only a matter of time before PET/MR machines enter the market. On the software side, attenuation correc...
