Implementation of absolute quantification in small‐animal SPECT imaging: Phantom and animal studies

Abstract: PurposePresence of photon attenuation severely challenges quantitative accuracy in single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. Subsequently, various attenuation correction methods have been developed to compensate for this degradation. The present study aims to implement an attenuation correction method and then to evaluate quantification accuracy of attenuation correction in small‐animal SPECT imaging.MethodsImages were reconstructed using an iterative reconstruction method based on the maximu… Show more

“…Another nuclear medicine technique that could be used is single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) where the Gd-NPs could be labeled with 111 In ( T 1/2 =2.8 days) tracer. Even if PET quantification might be easier to implement, SPECT image quantification [1214] is also possible. Widely available in clinic, β + emitters ( 18 F, 68 Ga) have relatively short half-life ( T 1/2 =110 min and T 1/2 =68 min) compared to 111 In.…”

“…Essa abordagem é apenas parcialmente bem-sucedida; é difícil aplicar as distribuições complexas com muitas estruturas sobrepostas. Além disso, órgãos profundos podem ter estruturas sobrepostas de todos os ângulos de projeções [24].…”

“…Por exemplo, a atenuação dos fótons pode reduzir a concentração da atividade média em um volume de interesse em 25%. A radiação dispersa também pode diminuir a precisão quantitativa, entretanto, o erro é insignificante em objetos com o tamanho de pequenos animais [24].…”
