An Investigation of Reconstruction Strategies for Mediastinal Lesion Detection Using Hybrid Ga-67 SPECT Images
Abstract
Ga-67 SPECT studies are especially useful in the pretreatment staging and post-treatment follow-up of patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Ga-67 is however a particularly challenging radionuclide for imaging. Patient specific background variability, which manifests itself as structured noise, can further impact lesion detection accuracy. A number of MCAT phantom studies with simulated lesions and idealized source distributions …
