Optimization of Acquisition Energy Windows in simultaneous 99mTc/123 I brain SPECT
Abstract
Simultaneous acquisition SPECT brain imaging using a 99mTc labeled perfusion agent and an 1231 labeled neurotransmitter agent has potential applications in diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the close proximity of the photopeaks of the two isotopes results in significant crosstalk. We have previously optimized the acquisition parameters for 201Tl l9mTc dual isotope imaging based on an ideal observer signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). …
