    This study demonstrates three methods for transverse-section gamma-ray imaging reconstruction using a PDP8 I computer. The convolution method by Bracewell and Riddle proved most effective for handling noise and attenuation in imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Computational Imaging

    Background:

    • Transverse-section gamma-ray imaging aims to visualize radioactive material distribution within a body slice.
    • Image reconstruction from projections is a core technique in this field, with various methods developed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement and evaluate three distinct image reconstruction methods for transverse-section gamma-ray imaging.
    • To assess the performance of these methods with experimental and clinical data from the Aberdeen Section Scanner.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of three reconstruction algorithms: simple back projection, Bracewell and Riddle's convolution method, and Radon's linear integral transform method.
    • Utilized a PDP8 I digital computer for data processing and reconstruction.

  • Examined issues of sensitivity variation and attenuation, developing an approximate attenuation correction procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • All three methods were realized and applied to imaging data.
    • The Bracewell and Riddle convolution method demonstrated convenience for data manipulation.
    • This method facilitated the incorporation of statistical noise smoothing and absorption correction.

    Conclusions:

    • The Bracewell and Riddle convolution method is a practical approach for transverse-section gamma-ray imaging reconstruction.
    • Effective noise reduction and attenuation correction are crucial for accurate imaging.
    • The study highlights the utility of digital computers in advancing medical imaging reconstruction techniques.
