Scatter in nuclear medicine imaging usual refers to Compton scattering in which a gamma
ray undergoes an interaction with matter (eg patient) whereby it changes direction and …

A new method for correcting simultaneously the attenuation, scatter and resolution effects in
SPECT has been developed for the case of a homogeneous medium. It is based on an …

In this era of cost constraints in health care and the growing demand for cost-effective
clinical strategies, the nuclear cardiologist is under increasing pressure to show clear …

Elimination of scattered photons from acquired counts is necessary for reconstructing a
quantitative SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) image. To perform …

The authors present a novel method for estimating primary photons using an artificial neural
network in radionuclide imaging. The neural network for Tc-99m has three layers, one input …
