研究目的
To estimate the distribution of a radiotracer from external measurements of the pattern of photons emerging from the brain using PET and SPECT imaging techniques.
研究成果
PET and SPECT imaging techniques are powerful tools for estimating the distribution of radiotracers in the brain. Despite their limitations, advancements in detector materials, collimator designs, and reconstruction algorithms have significantly improved their accuracy and efficiency. Future studies should focus on further enhancing image quality and reducing imaging time.
研究不足
The statistical quality of emission CT images is poor due to the relatively few photons used. The imaging process is time-consuming, and the emission rate is low. The spatial resolution is limited by the positron range in tissue for PET and by the collimator design for SPECT.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The methodology involves the use of PET and SPECT scanners to detect gamma-radiation from radioisotopes and positron-emitting isotopes, respectively. The reconstruction of images from projection data is performed using analytic and iterative methods.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples are brain images obtained from patients injected with radiotracers. Data acquisition involves measuring the pattern of photons emerging from the brain.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SPECT and PET scanners, collimators, scintillating crystals (e.g., sodium iodide (NaI)), photomultiplier tubes, and radiotracers.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process includes injecting the patient with a radiotracer, acquiring projection data using SPECT or PET scanners, and reconstructing images using mathematical algorithms.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis involves correcting for physical effects such as limited spatial resolution, photon attenuation, and photon scatter, and interpreting the images for measurements of physical quantities.
