Model-based scatter correction for fully 3D PET

Open access
Ollinger, John M·1996·Physics in Medicine and Biology

Abstract

A method is presented that directly calculates the mean number of scattered coincidences in data acquired with fully 3D positron emission tomography (PET). This method uses a transmission scan, an emission scan, the physics of Compton scatter, and a mathematical model of the scanner in a forward calculation of the number of events for which one photon has undergone a single Compton interaction. The distribution of events for which multiple Compton interactions have occurred is modelled as a linear transformation of the single-scatter distribution. Computational efficiency is achieved by sampling at rates no higher than those required by the scatter distribution and by implementing the algorithm using look-up tables. Evaluation studies in phantoms with large scatter fractions show that the method yields images with quantitative accuracy equivalent to that of slice-collimated PET in clinically useful times.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
