Comparison of scatter compensation strategies for cardiac perfusion imaging using Tc-99m labeled sestamibi
Abstract
Scatter can be a confounding problem in the detection of perfusion defects in cardiac perfusion imaging. The goal of this investigation was to compare practical methods of scatter compensation representing different classes of compensation strategies. The methods investigated were: 1) modification of the energy window; 2) use of effective as values of attenuation coefficients; 3) estimating the scatter distribution from energy spectrum …
