PURPOSE This work is a preliminary study of a stationary cardiac SPECT system. The goal of this research is to propose a stationary cardiac SPECT system using segmented slant-hole collimators and to perform computer simulations to test the feasibility. Compared to the rotational SPECT, a stationary system has a benefit of acquiring temporally consistent projections. The most challenging issue i...

Introduction: We have investigated cardiac SPECT with slant hole collimator in which the holes are slanted towards the target organ, to provide greater sensitivity over the parallel hole collimator. In addition, parallel hole collimator was used to obtain a comparison in FWHM, sensitivity, Compton and photoelectric area values in the simulations. Materials and Methods...

In this work, we use the formal definition of $k$-slant helix cite{ali2} to obtain the intrinsic equations as well as the position vector for emph{slant-slant helices} which a generalization of emph{general helices} and emph{slant helices}. Also, we present some characterizations theorems for $k$-slant helices and derived, in general form, the intrinsic equations for such curves. Thereafter, fr...

in this paper, biharmonic slant helices are studied according to bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give necessary and sufficient conditions for slant helices to be biharmonic. the biharmonic slant helices arecharacterized in terms of bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give some characterizations for tangent bishop spherical images of b-slant helix. additionally, we illu...

UNLABELLED A dedicated stationary cardiac single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system with a novel segmented slant-hole collimator has been developed. The goal of this paper is to calibrate this new imaging geometry with a point source. METHODS Unlike the commercially available dedicated cardiac SPECT systems, which are specialized and can be used only to image the heart, our pr...

A $it{weighted~slant~Toep}$-$it{Hank}$ operator $L_{phi}^{beta}$ with symbol $phiin L^{infty}(beta)$ is an operator on $L^2(beta)$ whose representing matrix consists of all even (odd) columns from a weighted slant Hankel (slant weighted Toeplitz) matrix, $beta={beta_n}_{nin mathbb{Z}}$ be a sequence of positive numbers with $beta_0=1$. A matrix characterization for an operator to be $it{weighte...
