2018 Objectives Whole Body (WB) studies are the routine acquisition protocol for bone
scintigraphy. Reduced WB acquisition time without image quality degradation will decrease …

Background Reducing scan-time while maintaining sufficient image quality is a common
issue in nuclear medicine diagnostics. This matter can be addressed by different post …

This study aimed to determine whether the whole-body bone Single Photon Emission
Computed Tomography (SPECT) recording times of around 10 min, routinely provided by a …

2128 Objectives Patients undergoing whole body scintigraphy for bone metastases often
suffer from pain potentially enhanced by long imaging times. This study investigated if a …

Objective To improve image quality for low-count bone scintigraphy whole-body images
using deep learning and evaluate their applicability in clinical practice. Methods Five …

To improve image quality for low-count bone scintigraphy using deep learning and evaluate
their clinical applicability. Six hundred patients (training, 500; validation, 50; evaluation, 50) …

44 Objectives: Deconvolution of planar scintigrams can improve image quality with respect
to contrast and resolution. We used an MLEM based iterative deconvolution technique (IDT) …

Purpose Whole-body bone scintigraphy (WBS) is one of the most widely used modalities in
diagnosing malignant bone diseases during the early stages. However, the procedure is …

112 Objectives: Gamma camera with semiconductor detector has the potential to reduce the
acquisition time or injection dose of bone scan because of its high sensitivity in comparison …

P921 Introduction: Data-driven filters have shown robustness and tolerance at high noise
levels, contrary to analytic filters. We have previously demonstrated the high performance of …
