Abstract

We report our investigation of system designs and 3D reconstruction for a dedicated brain-imaging SPECT system using multiple square or square and hexagonal detector modules. The system employs shuttering to vary which of multiple pinhole apertures are enabled to pass photons through to irradiate the detectors. Both multiplexed and nonmultiplexed irradiation by the pinholes are investigated. Sampling is assessed by simulated imaging of a uniform activity concentration in a spherical tub filling the VOI and a tailored Defrise phantom consisting of a series of activity containing slabs aligned axially. Potential image quality for clinical imaging is assessed through simulated imaging of an XCAT brain phantom with an activity distribution simulating perfusion imaging.
