    摘要: The invention is directed to a technique for reconstructing PET scan images. According to one embodiment, the invention relates to a method for reconstructing PET scan images. The method comprises: detecting a plurality of coincidence events in a PET scanner; storing data associated with the plurality of coincidence events in a chronological list based on a detection time for each of the plurality of coincidence events; generating correction data based on scatter coincidence events and random coincidence events in the plurality of coincidence events; and reconstructing one or more PET scan images based at least in part on the chronological list of data and the correction data.

    摘要: Methods for performing image reconstruction that include deriving background projection data for an area outside a targeted field of view of a tomographic image, and reconstructing the tomographic image of the targeted field of view, wherein the background projection data is used in the reconstruction. Methods for selecting a reconstruction methodology that include determining a number of pixels in a reconstructed image for a first reconstruction methodology, determining a number of pixels in a reconstructed image for a second reconstruction methodology, comparing the number of pixels for the first reconstruction methodology and the number of pixels for the second reconstruction methodology, and selecting the reconstruction methodology for image reconstruction based on the comparison of the number of pixels. Imaging systems implementing these methods are also provided.

    摘要: A nuclear imaging radiation system including a gamma camera which, in one embodiment, includes a scintillation crystal, a collimator and an array of photomultiplier tubes, is described. The collimator is positioned adjacent a face of the crystal, and defines a field of view. The array of photomultiplier tubes is positioned adjacent an opposite face of the crystal, and selected tubes outside the field of view are disabled so that light events outside of the field of view are not processed.

    摘要: A reduced field of view collimator for a nuclear imaging gamma camera is described. In one form, the collimator includes a gamma ray attenuating plate, several core plates, and a ramp member. The gamma ray attenuating plate is sized to substantially cover a scintillation crystal face, and includes an opening. The core plates extend from the attenuating plate at a periphery of the plate opening and define an outer periphery of a collimator core. The ramp member includes a ramp having a sloped surface, and is formed of gamma ray attenuating material. The ramp member is secured adjacent to at least one of the core plates so that the sloped surface extends substantially angularly with respect to the attenuating plate and the core plate.
