2. 1. Corrections for improved quantitative accuracy in SPECT and planar scintigraphic imaging

   Author : Anne Larsson; Lennart Johansson; Katrine Åhlström Riklund; Bertil Axelsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Quantitative SPECT; scintigraphic imaging; attenuation correction; scatter correction; collimator-detector response; septal penetration; background correction; Monte Carlo simulation; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

   Abstract : A quantitative evaluation of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and planar scintigraphic imaging may be valuable for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. For an accurate quantification it is usually necessary to correct for attenuation and scatter and in some cases also for septal penetration. READ MORE

4. 2. Advances in quantitative emission tomography : development and analysis of methods for validation and correction

   Author : Cathrine Jonsson; Magnus Dahlbom; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SPECT; Quantification; rCBF; Scatter correction; Phantoms; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

   Abstract : The nuclear medicine imaging techniques SPECT and PET are sensitive tools in mapping various physiological and biochemical processes in vivo. This work was devoted to investigations of methodological and physical properties of the SPECT technique as well as developing methods for validation and correction. READ MORE

5. 3. Evaluation of attenuation and scatter corrections in lung and brain SPECT

   Author : Agnetha Gustafsson; Bertil Axelsson; Göteborgs universitet Avdelningen för radiofysik Department of Radiations Physics; []
   Keywords : SPECT; attenuation; scatter; detectability; Monte Carlo simulation; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is used to image functional processes in the human body. The image process is affected by physical effects such as attenuation, scatter, spatial resolution and statistical noise. READ MORE

7. 5. Novel computational methods for image analysis and quantification using position sensitive radiation detectors

   Author : Alejandro Sanchez Crespo; Stig A. Larsson; Magnus Dahlbom; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SPET; PET; CMOS; spatial resolution; photon depth of interaction; positron annihilation; positron range; non-collinearity; scatter; attenuation; lung ventilation; lung perfusion; breast tumour; Medicine; Medicin;

   Abstract : The major advantage of position sensitive radiation detector systems lies in their ability to non invasively map the regional distribution of the emitted radiation in real-time. Three of such detector systems were studied in this thesis, gamma-cameras, positron cameras and CMOS image sensors. READ MORE
