Ramp filter exactly reconstructs projection
Efficient
(Linear shift invariant)

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

What’s Wrong with FilteredBackprojection, FBP, for SPECT
Can’t model:
Attenuation
Scatter
Depth dependant resolution
New imaging geometries

Solution

Uses:
Simultaneous linear equations

Can model image physics

Iterative ReconstructionNoise is “Blobby”
![Page 54: Image Reconstruction from Projections J. Anthony Parker, MD PhD Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Boston, Massachusetts Caveat Lector Tony_Parker@BIDMC.Harvard.edu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b535a550346dd1a8b6054/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
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))
![Page 55: Image Reconstruction from Projections J. Anthony Parker, MD PhD Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Boston, Massachusetts Caveat Lector Tony_Parker@BIDMC.Harvard.edu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b535a550346dd1a8b6054/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
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
![Page 56: Image Reconstruction from Projections J. Anthony Parker, MD PhD Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Boston, Massachusetts Caveat Lector Tony_Parker@BIDMC.Harvard.edu](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b535a550346dd1a8b6054/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
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
