Fast and Quantitative Reconstruction of 4D SPECT for Fan beam Geometry Based on Novikov’s Inverse Formula[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2008, 13(12): 2270. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20081203.
Study on fast and quantitative reconstruction algorithms for dynamic SPECT(4 dimension) under fan beam geometry is conducted. The correlated information along time axis of projection sequences is decorrelated using Karhune Loève (KL) transformation. Then we reconstruct all or part of the components in KL domain with Novikovs inverse formula
which is deduced for fan beam geometry. The results can be obtained by inverse KL transform. The reconstruction can compensate for the nonuniform attenuation effectively. The results are similar to those from iterative approaches while there construction time is greatly abbreviated. The proposed method can reconstruct 4D SPECT fast and quantitatively and thus has a good future in clinical applications.
