Projection Single Slice Axial
Single Axial Slice: 3600 collimator Ignoring attenuation, SPECT data are projections
Attenuation: 180 o = 360 o Tc-99 m x htl(140 ke. V) ≈ 4 cm ke. V 150 100 80 60 50
Cardiac Perfusion Data Collection Special Case - 180 o Coronal / Sagittal Axial Multiple simultaneous axial slices
Dual-Head General-Purpose Gamma Camera: 900 “Cardiac” Position 1 2 2 heads: 900 rotation = 1800 data
Inconsistent projections “motion corrected”

Reconstruction by Backprojection tails
Backprojection 2 projections 2 objects
projection tails merge resulting in blurring
Projection -> Backprojection of a Point (1/r) backprojection lines add at the point tails spread point out
Projection -> Backprojection
Projection->Backprojection Smooths or “blurs” the image (Low pass filter) ((Convolution with 1/r)) Nuclear Medicine physics Square law detector adds pixels -> always blurs Different from MRI (phase)
(Projection-Slice Theorem) “k-space (k, )” detail low frequency spatial domain 2 D Fourier transform spatial frequency domain
Spatial Frequency Basis Functions f(u, v) ≠ 0, single 0, v f(u, v) ≠ 0, single u, 0 f(u, v) ≠ 0, single u = v
Projection -> Backprojection: k-space 1/k (Density of slices is 1/k) one projection multiple projections (Fourier Transform of 1/r <-> 1/k)
Image Reconstruction: Ramp Filter Projection -> Backprojection blurs with 1/r in object space k-space 1/k ( 1/r<-> 1/k) Ramp filter sharpen with k k (windowed at Nyquist frequency) k
Low Pass Times Ramp Filter Low pass, Butterworth – noise Ramp – reconstruct
What’s Good about FPB Ramp filter exactly reconstructs projection Efficient (Linear shift invariant) (FFT is order of n log(n) n = number of pixels) “Easily” understood
New Cardiac Cameras Solid state - CZT: $$$, energy resolution scatter rejection, dual isotope Pixelated detector: count rate & potential high resolution poorer uniformity Non-uniform sampling: sensitivity potential for artifacts Special purpose design closer to patient: system resolution upright: ameliorates diaphragmatic attenuation
Collimator Resolution* Single photon imaging (i. e. not PET) Collimators: image formation Sensitivity / resolution trade-off Resolution recovery hype “Low resolution, high sensitivity -> image processing = high resolution” Reality - ameliorates low resolution Steve Moore: “Resolution: data = target object” Can do quick, low resolution image * not resolution from reduced distance due to design
Dual Head: Non-Uniform Sampling
Activity Measurement: Attenuation htl(140 ke. V) ≈ 4 cm ke. V 150 100 80 60 50

Semi-erect: Ameliorates Attenuation

Sequential Tidal-Breathing Emission and Average-Transmission Alignment
Sensitivity / Resolution Trade-Off Non-uniform sampling -> sensitivity Special purpose design -> resolution Advantages Throughput at same noise Patient motion - Hx: 1 head -> 2 head Cost Non-uniform sampling -> artifacts History: 7 -pinhole - failed 180 o sampling - success Sequential emission transmission
What’s Wrong with Filtered Backprojection, FBP, for SPECT Can’t model: Attenuation Scatter Depth dependant resolution New imaging geometries (Linear shift invariant model)
Solution Iterative reconstruction Uses: Simultaneous linear equations Matrix algebra Can model image physics (Linear model)
Projections as Simultaneous Equations (Linear Model) But, exact solution for a large number of equations isn’t practical

Attenuation Map Gd-153 Transmission Map adds noise to reconstruction and can introduce artifacts
Iterative Reconstruction Noise is “Blobby”
What’s Good About Iterative Reconstruction Able to model: Data collection, including new geometries Attenuation Scatter Depth dependant resolution Fairly efficient given current computers (Iterative solution, e. g. EM, reasonable) (OSEM is even better) ((OSEM has about 1/nsubsets of EM iterations))
What’s Wrong with Iterative Reconstruction (Complicated by ill conditioned model) ((Estimating projections not object)) Noise character bad for oncology To model attenuation & scatter - need to measure attenuation - adds noise
Conclusions Filtered backprojection, FBP Efficient (Models noise) “Easy” to understand Iterative reconstruction, OSEM Moderately efficient Models noise, attenuation, scatter, depth dependant resolution, and new cameras
