Abstract:Several methods have been proposed for dedicated SPECT imaging of the breast. Two key characteristics achieved by these methods are shortened distance and lessened attenuation between the SPECT collimator and the breast. However, many of these methods are unable to image the important regions of the axilla and upper chest. Partial-Circle pinhole trajectories can image into the axilla, but only over a narrow axial range. Here we propose X and X-Line trajectories that can effectively image a broad axial range of… Show more
