Megjegyzések:Abstract Objective: Dedicated multi-pinhole (MPH) collimators have been successfully tested in selected clinical investigations. The aim of our work was to report initial experiences with an MPH collimator set designed for brain perfusion single photon emission tomography (SPECT). Methods: Ten patients underwent sequential technetium-99m-hexamethylpropyleneamineoxime (99mTc-HMPAO) SPECT with a dual-head SPECT camera equipped with conventional low-energy parallel hole collimators (LEHR), and with a triple-head system equipped with MPH collimators. Low-energy parallel hole collimators data were reconstructed by filtered back projection (FBP), ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM), software for tomographic image reconstruction (STIR). In addition, both the parallel hole data and MPH data were reconstructed by Tera-TomoTM 3D iterative reconstruction denoted LEHR_TT3D and MPH_TT3D, respectively. Five medical experts visually compared the reconstructed images of the five data sets and defined a ranking sequence from the lowest (1) to the highest (5) image quality. Results were compared using the Friedman test. P values below 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Low-energy parallel hole collimators acquisition resulted in 5 million, while MPH acquisition in 13 million total counts with 30 and 34 minutes of acquisition time, respectively. Mean rank coefficients of the reconstruction methods were 1.96?0.52, 2.66?0.46, 2.86?0.60, 3.62?0.55, 3.9?0.68 for FBP, STIR, LEHR_TT3D, LEHR_OSEM, MPH_TT3D respectively. The differences between MPH_TT3D-FBP (P<0.01); MPH_TT3D-STIR (P<0.05); LEHR_OSEM-FBP (P<0.01) were significant. Conclusion: Image quality provided by MPH collimator is comparable to that provided by conventional LEHR imaging. Higher sensitivity has the potential to shorten acquisition time or to reduce the amount of administered activity.

Cím:3D printed anthropomorphic left ventricular myocardial phantom for nuclear medicine imaging applications / János Kiss, László Balkay, Kornel Kukuts, Marton Miko, Attila Forgacs, Gyorgy Trencsenyi, Aron K. Krizsan

Megjegyzések:Abstract Background: Anthropomorphic torso phantoms, including a cardiac insert, are frequently used to investigate the imaging performance of SPECT and PET systems. These phantom solutions are generally featuring a simple anatomical representation of the heart. 3D printing technology paves the way to create cardiac phantoms with more complex volume defnition. This study aimed to describe how a fllable left ventricular myocardium (LVm) phantom can be manufactured using geometry extracted from a patient image. Methods: The LVm of a healthy subject was segmented from 18F-FDG attenuation corrected PET image set. Two types of phantoms were created and 3D printed using polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) material: one representing the original healthy LVm, and the other mimicking myocardium with a perfusion defect. The accuracy of the LVm phantom production was investigated by high-resolution CT scanning of 3 identical replicas. 99mTc SPECT acquisitions using local cardiac protocol were performed, without additional scattering media ("in air" measurements) for both phantom types. Furthermore, the healthy LVm phantom was inserted in the commercially available DataSpectrum Anthropomorphic Torso Phantom ("in torso" measurement) and measured with hot background and hot liver insert. Results: Phantoms were easy to fll without any air-bubbles or leakage, were found to be reproducible and fully compatible with the torso phantom. Seventeen segments polar map analysis of the "in air" measurements revealed that a signifcant defcit in the distribution appeared where it was expected. 59% of polar map segments had less than 5% deviation for the "in torso" and "in air" measurement comparison. Excluding the defcit area, neither comparison had more than a 12.4% deviation. All the three polar maps showed similar apex and apical region values for all confgurations. Conclusions: Fillable anthropomorphic 3D printed phantom of LVm can be produced with high precision and reproducibility. The 3D printed LVm phantoms were found to be suitable for SPECT image quality tests during diferent imaging scenarios. The fexibility of the 3D printing process presented in this study provides scalable and anthropomorphic image quality phantoms in nuclear cardiology imaging.

Megjegyzések:Background: In this study we evaluated the imaging capabilities of a novel Multipinhole collimator (MPH-Cardiac) specially designed for nuclear cardiology imaging on a Triple-NaI-detector based SPECT/CT system. Methods: 99mTc point source measurements covering the field of view (FOV) were used to determine tomographic sensitivity ( TSpointsource) and spatial resolution. Organsize tomographic sensitivity ( TSorgan) was measured with a left ventricle (LV) phantom filled with typical myocardial activity of a patient scan. Reconstructed image uniformity was measured with a 140 mm diameter uniform cylinder phantom. Using the LV phantom once filled with 99mTc and after with 123I, Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was measured on the reconstructed images by ROI analysis on the myocardium activity and on the LV cavity. Furthermore, a polar map analysis was performed determining Spill-Over-Ratio in water ( SORwater) and image noise. The results were compared with that of a dual-head parallel-hole low energy high resolution (LEHR) collimator system. A patient with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) was scanned on the LEHR system using local protocol of 16 min total acquisition time, followed by a 4-min MPH-Cardiac scan. Results: Peak TSpointsource was found to be 1013 cps/MBq in the axial center of the FOV while it was decreasing toward the radial edges. TSorgan in the CFOV was found to be 134 cps/MBq and 700 cps/MBq for the LEHR and MPH-Cardiac, respectively. Average spatial resolution throughout the FOV was 4.38 mm FWHM for the MPH-Cardiac collimator. Reconstructed image uniformity values were found to be 0.292% versus 0.214% for the LEHR and MPH-Cardiac measurements, respectively. CNR was found to be higher in case of MPH-Cardiac than for LEHR in case of 99mTc (15.5 vs. 11.7) as well as for 123I (13.5 vs. 8.3). SORwater values were found to be 28.83% and 21.1% for the 99mTc measurements, and 31.44% and 24.33% for the 123I measurements for LEHR and MPHCardiac, respectively. Pixel noise of the 99mTc polar maps resulted in values of 0.38% and 0.24% and of the 123I polar maps 0.62% and 0.21% for LEHR and MPH-Cardiac, respectively. Visually interpreting the patient scan images, MPH-Cardiac resulted in better image contrast compared to the LEHR technique with four times shorter scan duration.
