The Incorporation of Organ Uptake into Dynamic SPECT (dSPECT) Image Reconstruction
Abstract
Dynamic SPECT (dSPECT) is an image reconstruction method capable of determining three dimensional regional estimates of physiological kinetic rates while still maintaining the simple acquisition protocol of a single, slow camera rotation. Through the use of inequality constraints in a least squares optimization routine, we are able to determine both the rate of tracer uptake and subsequent tracer washout over the acquisition time of the SPECT …
