양전자방출단층촬영기(Positron emission tomography, PET) 영상 개선을 위하여 적응적 공간 필터를 개발하였으며. 개발한 필터의 성능을 시뮬레이션데이터. 모형 PET 영상과 환자 PET 영상을 이용하여 평가하였다. 경계화소로 검출된 화소와 윈도우내의 모든 화소값이 동일한 화소는 보존하고. 그 외 화소에 대하여 2:7:2 비율로 가중치를 주어 정열한 후 중앙의 9개 화소에 대한 평균값으로 대치하였다. 경계화소를 검출하기 위하여 두 개의 임계값(TH7, TH2)을 이용하였으며. 다음의 조건을 만족하면 경계화소로 판단하였다 . THl ($pix_max{\times}0.1/log_2(NPM)$, NPM :주변값중 최상위 값과 최하위 값을 제외한 주변값들의 평균) 보다 작은 ADs (중앙값과 주변값의 차에 대한 절대값) 개수는 8-k이고. TH2 ($NPM{\times}0.1$) 보다 큰 ADs 개수는 k. 여기서 k는 2, 3 ‥‥ 6의 값을 가진다 성능평가 결과 이 연구에서 제안한 필터가 가우시안 필터, 가중메디안 필터, 부분집합평균메디안 필터 등과 비교하여 우수한 성능을 제공하는 것을 관찰하였다. 본 논문에서 개발한 간단한 적응적 공간 필터는 공간 분해능 저하는 최소화하면서 균일도와 대조도를 향상시키는데 효과적 이여서 정확한 PET 영상 해석에 기여할 것으로 기대된다 A spatially adaptive falter was formulated to imrove PET image qualify and the Performance of the filter was evaluated using simulation and phantom and human PET studies. In the proposed filter. if a pixel was identified as the edge Pixel, the Pixel value was Preserved. Otherwise a Pixel was replaced by the mean of the pixel values weighted by 2:7: 2. A Pixel was identified as the edge Pixel. if it satisfies the following conditions : the number of ADs (absolute difference between center and neighborhood pixels) which is smaller than THl (($pix_max{\times}0.1/log_2(NPM)$, NPM : mean of 6 neighborhood pixels excluding minimum and maximum) is 8-k and the number of ADs which is lager than TH2 ($NPM{\times}0.1$) is k. where k : 2, 3, …, 6. The results of this study demonstrate the superior performance of the Proposed titter compared to Gaussian fitter, weight median filter and subset averaged median filter. The proposed tittering method is simple but effective in increasing uniformity and contrast with minimal degradation of spatial resolution of PET images and thus. is expected to Provide improved diagnositc quality PET images .

N/A We compared stress/rest myocardial Tc-99m-MIBI tomographic image findings with rest/stress rubidium-82 tomographic images. In 23 patients with coronary artery disease (12 of them received bypass grafts before) and 6 normal subjects, rest rubidium PET study was performed, rubidium-82 and Tc-99m-MrBI were injected simultaneously to each patient after dipyridamole stress for rubidium PET and MIBI SPECT; and rest MIBI SPECT was performed 4 hours thereafter. We scored segmental decrease of rubidium, or MIBI uptakes into 5 grades for 29 segments from 3 short-axis, vertical and horizontal slices. Scores were summed for each major arterial territory. When more score than two grade-2's or one grade-3 was considered as the cue for significant stenosis for major arterial territories, 67% of 46 stenosed arteries were found with MIBI studies and 78% of them by rubidium studies. Fourteen among 28 grafted arterial territories of 12 post-CABG patients were found normal with both rubidium and MIBI. Segmental scores were concordant between rubidium and MIBI in 72% of 709-stress segments and in 80% of 825 rest segments. Stress rubidium segmental scores were less than stress MIBI scores in 9%, so were rest rubidium scores. Stress rubidium scores were more than stress MIBI scores in 20% of segments, and rest rubidium segmental scores were more than rest MIBI scores in 11%. Rank correlations (Spearman's rho's more than 0.7(stress) and 0.5(rest), slopes (MIBI/rubidium) around 0.7(stress) and 0.9(rest) suggested deeper and wider defects in stress with rubidium. Slope over 1 (MIBI/rubidium) with LAD segemental scores at rest and 7 territories which had much larger score with MIBI revealed exaggeration of rest defects with rest MIBI in same-day stress/rest study. Difference scores (stress-rest for each territory) suggesting ischemia were larger with rubidium (slope of MIBI/rubidium around 0.45). As has been implied by animal or separate-day- human studies, these segmental analyses with simultaneous examination in patients told that rubi

N/A We evaluated the usefulness of Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT in 21 Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured intracranial aneurysm and in 3 patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm. SPECT study could detect the bilaterally hypoperfused cases in 10 patients(48%), but CT/MRI showed the bilateral abnormalities in only 3 patients(14%). The number of abnormal lesions were 56 in SPECT and 25 in CT/MRI. The lesions found in SPECT were well correlated with the neurological signs of the patients such as aphasia or hemiplegia. SPECT study during Matas test was helpful in evaluating the risk for carotid artery occlusion therapy. We thought that Tc-99m-HMPAO brain SPECT is helpful in evaluating the functional changes in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

N/A Attenuation correction is important in producing quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) images. Conventionally, photon attenuation effects are corrected using transmission measurements performed before tracer administration. The pre-injection transmission measurement approach may require a time delay between transmission and emission scans for the tracer studies requiring a long uptake period, about 45 minutes for F-18 deoxyglucose study. The time delay will limit patient throughput and increase the 1ikelihood of patient motion. A technique for performing simultaneous transmission and emission scans (T+E method) after the tracer injection has been validated. The T+E method substracts the emission counts contaminating the transmission measurements to produce accurate attenuation correction coefficients. This method has been evaluated in experiments using a cylindrical phantom filled with background water (5750 cc) containing 0.4 μCi/cc of F-18 fluoride ion and one insert cylinder (276 cc) containing 4.3 μCi/cc. GE AdvanceTM PET scanner and Ge-68 rotating pin sources for transmission scanning were used for this investigation. Post-injection transmission scan and emission scan were performed alternatively over time. The error in emission images corrected using post-injection transmission scan to emission images corrected using post-injection transmission scan to emission images corrected transmission scan was 2.6% at the concentration of 1.0 μCi/cc. No obvious differences in image quality and noise were apparent between the two images. The attenuation correction can be accomplished with post-injection transmission measurement using rotating pin sources and this method can significantly shorten the time between transmission and emission scans and thereby reduce the likelihood of patient motion and increase scanning throughput in PET.

N/A A series of performance measurements of positron emission tomography (PET) were performed following the recommendations of the Computer and Instrumentation Council of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. We investigated the performance of the General Electric AdvanceTM PET. The measurements include the basic intrinsic tests of spatial resolution, scatter fraction, sensitivity, and count rate losses and randoms. They also include the tests of the accuracy of corrections: count rate linearity correction, uniformity correction, scatter correction and attenuation correction. GE AdvanceTM PET has bismuth germanate oxide crystals (4.0mm transaxial × 8.lmm axial × 30.0mm radial) in 18 rings, which form 35 imaging planes spaced by 4.25mm. The system has retractable tungsten septa 1mm thick and 12cm long. Transaxial resolution was 4.92mm FWHM in 2D and 5.14mm FWHM in 3D at the center. Average axial resolution in 2D decreased from 3.91mm FWHM at the center to 6.49mm FWHM at R=20cm. Average scatter fraction of direct and cross slices was 9.57%. Dead-time losses of 50% corresponded to a radioactivity concentration of 4.86μCi/cc and a true count rate of 519 kcps in 2D. The accuracy of count rate linearity correction was 1.84% at the activity of 4.50μCi/cc. Non-uniformity was 2.06% in 2D and 2.93% in 3D. Remnant errors after scatter correction were 0.55% in 2D and 4.12% in 3D. The errors of attenuation correction were 6.21% (air), 0.20% (water), -6.32% (teflon) in 2D and 5.00% (air), 6.94% (water), 3.01% (teflon) in 3D. The results indicate the performance of GE AdvanceTM PET scanner to be well suited for clinical and research applications.

감마카메라에서 섬광체는 감마선을 검출하여 카메라의 영상 특성을 결정하는 주요한 센서역할을 한다. 이 연구에서는 감마카메라 제작시에 고려되어야 하는 섬광체의 옆표면처리가 감마카메라영상에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 섬광체는 크기가 20mm (직경 $\times$10mm(두께)인 NaI(TI) 와 CsI(TI)를 설정하여 옆표면처리를 반사체와 흡수체로 하였다 . 선정한 4개의 섬광체에서 감마선에 의해 발생한 섬광이 광전자증배관의 광음극에 도달할 때 까지의 광학적 특성을 몬테카를로(Monte Carlo) 시뮬레이션 방법을 이용하여 고찰하였다. 또한 이 네 개의 섬광체를 위치민감형 광전자증배관에 광학적으로 결합하여 Tc-99m 140 keV 에 대한 민감도와 플러드 영상, 에너지 분해능 그리고 위치분해능을 측정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, NAI(TI)-반사체가 가장 우수한 민감도를 보인 것으로 계산되었으며, 감마카메라를 이용하여 획득한 플러드영상에서 민감도는 NAI(TI)-반사체 2920cps/$\mu$Ci, NaI(TI)-흡수체2322 cps/$\mu$Ci, CsI(TI) 반사체 1754 cps/$\mu$Ci, CsI(TI)/흡수체 1401 cps/$\mu$Ci로 축정되었다. 내인성 위치분해능은 NaI(TI)-반사체 5.17mm, , NaI(TI)-흡수체 4.54mm, CsI(TI)-반사체 6.99m, CsI(TI)-흡수체 6.31 mm FWHM의 결과를 나타냈다. Tc -99m 140 keV에 대한 에너지분해능은 NaI(TI)-반사체 12.5%, NAI(TI) -흡수체 23.5%, CSI(TI)-반사체 20.5%, CsI(TI) -흡수체 33.3% FWHM으로 측정되었다. 이 연구에서는 감마카메라에서 사용되는 섬광체의 옆표면처리가 카메라의 주요특성에 직접적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 시뮬레이션과 실체 측정방법으로 고찰할 수 있었으며, 두 가지 방법이 일치된 결과를 보여주었다. 결론적으로 섬광체와 광전자증배관 그리고 Tc-99m 선원을 이용하여 영상획득을 목적으로 하는 감마카메라 제작에서는 NAaI(TI) 섬광체가 CSI(TI) 보다 적합하며, 해상력을 고려할 경우에는 섬광체 옆표면을 흡수체로 민감도를 고려할 경우에는 반사체로 선택하여 처리해야 함을 확인하였다. Scintillator crystal is an important part and detcrmines performance characteristics of the gamma camera. We investigated the offects of scintillation crystal surface treatment on gamma camera imaging. Nal(TI) and Csl(Tl) scintillators. 20 mm diameter and 10 mm thickness, applied with two different surface treatments, white and black reflcetors, were applied to Nal(Tl) and Csl(Ti). The optical properties of generated scintillation light were evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation method and by actual measurement using a position sensitive photomultiplier tube (PSPMT). We measured sensitivity, energy resolution and spatial resolution of gamma camera with the various scintillators coupled to a PSPMT. In the simulation. Nal(Tl)-white prosented the best sensitivity. In the measurements, the sensitivities and the intrinsic spatial resolutions of Nal(Tl)-white, Nal(Tl)-black. CsI(Tl)-white, CsI(Tl)-black were 2920, 2322, 1754, 1401 cps/$\mu$ci and 5.2, 4.5, 7.0, 6.3 mm FWHM. respectively. Their intrinsic energy resolutions were mesured 12.5, 23.5, 20.5, 33.3% FWHM at 140 keV Tc-99m. In this study, we investigated the offects of a side surface treatment of the scintillator on the gamma camera imaging. Simulation and measurement prescnted similat trends. Based on the results, we concluded that the surface of th NaI(Tl)seintillator must be treated by absorptive materials in order to develop the gamma camera having good spatial resolution.
