Image Optimization in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography by Hardware Modifications with Monte Carlo Simulation

Introduction: In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), the projection data used for image reconstruction are distorted by several factors, including attenuation and scattering of gamma rays, collimator structure, data acquisition method, organ motion, and washout of radiopharmaceutical...
