A Novel Methodology for Iterative Image Reconstruction in SPECT Using Deterministic Particle Transport

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is used in a variety of medical procedures, including myocardial perfusion, bone metabolism, and thyroid function studies. In SPECT, the emissions of a radionuclide within a patient are counted at a gamma camera to form a 2-dimensional projection of...
