Multi‐angle acquisition and 3D composite reconstruction for organ‐targeted PET using planar detectors
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BACKGROUND: This study investigates a multi-angle acquisition method aimed at improving image quality in organ-targeted PET detectors with planar detector heads. Organ-targeted PET technologies have emerged to address limitations of conventional whole-body PET/CT systems, such as restricted axial field-of-view (AFOV), limited spatial resolution, and high radiation exposure associated with PET procedures. The AFOV in organ-targeted PET can be adjusted to the organ of interest, minimizing unwanted signals from other parts of the body, thus improving signal collection efficiency and reducing the dose of administered radiotracer. However, while planar detector PET technology allows for quasi-3D image reconstruction due to the separation between detector heads, it suffers from degraded axial spatial resolution and, consequently, reduced recovery coefficients (RCs) along the axial direction perpendicular to the detectors. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concept of multi-angle image acquisition with two planar PET detectors and composite full 3D image reconstruction. This leverages data collection from multiple polar angles to improve the axial spatial resolution in the direction perpendicular to the detector heads. In such, the concept allows to overcome the intrinsic limitations of planar detectors in axial resolution. METHODS: This study evaluates the improvement in the quality of images acquired with the Radialis organ-targeted PET camera through multi-angle image acquisition, in both experimental and simulated imaging scenarios. This includes the use of custom-made phantom with fillable spherical hot inserts, the NEMA NU4-2008 image quality (IQ) phantom, and simulations with a digital brain phantom. The analysis involves the comparison of line profiles drawn through the spherical hot inserts, image uniformity, RCs, and the reduction of smearing observed in the axial planes with and without the multi-angle acquisition strategy. RESULTS: Significant improvements were observed in reducing smearing, enhancing image uniformity, and increasing RCs using the evaluated multi-angle acquisition method. In the composite images, the hot spheres appear more symmetrical in all planes. The image uniformity, calculated from the IQ phantom, improves from 7.79% and 10.98%, as measured in the images from the individual acquisitions, to 2.72% in the composite image. There is also an overall improvement in the RCs as measured from the hot rods of the IQ phantom. Furthermore, the simulation study using the digital human brain phantom demonstrates minimal smearing in the four-angle scan, as opposed to a two-angle scan. CONCLUSION: The multi-angle acquisition method offers a promising approach to transform planar PET detector technology into a true tomographic organ-targeted PET system and to enable improvement in image quality while preserving a versatility inherent to planar detector technology. Future research will focus on optimizing the multi-angle imaging protocol, including adjustments to detector separations, number of acquisition angles, and reconstruction iterations, alongside incorporating TOF, and reconstruction with point spread function modeling to further improve image quality.

Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
