Purpose: In medical imaging, data scaling is sometimes desired to handle the system complexity, such as uniformity calibration. Since the data are usually saved in short integer, conventional data scaling will first scale the data in floating point f

Background In cardiac SPECT perfusion imaging, motion correction of the data is critical to the minimization of motion introduced artifacts in the reconstructed images. Software-based (data-driven) motion correction techniques are the most convenient

In cardiac perfusion studies (both PET and SPECT) with CT-based attenuation correction, intensive efforts have been made to minimize the emission/transmission misregistration in order to minimize the errors introduced by the misregistration in the at

Bad pixel correction on pixelated solid-state detectors typically uses the average of the direct neighboring pixels (AVG) to derive the value of a bad pixel. However, the AVG approach was suboptimal for high resolution imaging. Therefore, we develope

Respiratory motion gating (R-Gating) in SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) usually requires external devices and extra work of the technologist for patient setup. In this paper, we developed an operator-passive R-Gating technique without extern

Background: Thallium doped CsI(Tl) scintillators read out with PIN photodiodes have been successfully used for high performance pixilated solid-state gamma cameras for cardiac SPECT and general nuclear systems. These cameras allow for both emission a

Background: Myocardium counts in the projection data and myocardium wall ratios in the reconstructed images have been used to find the optimal angular sampling for 180° supine SPECT imaging. However, supine and upright images demonstrate different s

Detector non-uniformity can potentially introduce detectable artifacts into SPECT images. The degree of non-uniformity and the position of the non-uniform area on the detector surface determine the position and severity of the introduced artifacts. T

We have developed a CsI(Tl)/PIN detector module for high resolution SPECT and low dose photon-counting CT imaging. Using the detector modules with 6.1mm pixels, we built a cardiac SPECT system with three detector heads. The detector heads form a trip

Accurate attenuation correction (AC) requires matched emission (EM) and transmission (TX) data. For cardiac SPECT imaging with AC, historically TX data is only acquired in a non-gated manner and AC is only performed on the summed EM data. Considering
