Accurate estimation of delay time is crucial for quantitative regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measurement using positron emission tomography (PET). A new attenuation weighted sinogram method accurately estimates delay time with [15O]CO2 inhalation, overcoming artifacts from external radioactivity.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiochemistry

Context:

  • Quantitative measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with [15O]H2O requires precise estimation of tracer arrival delay time.
  • Bolus inhalation of [15O]CO2 gas is an alternative to intravenous injection for simplified rCBF measurement, but introduces artifacts.
  • Radioactive gas in the mask and nasal cavity during [15O]CO2 inhalation creates significant sinogram data artifacts, complicating delay time estimation.

Purpose:

  • To develop and validate a novel method for accurately estimating delay time in rCBF measurements using [15O]CO2 inhalation PET.
  • To address the challenge of artifacts caused by extra-cerebral radioactive gas in sinogram data.
  • To improve the accuracy and speed of delay time estimation for clinical applications.

Summary:

  • A new "attenuation weighted sinogram method" was developed, utilizing the attenuation map to remove extra-cerebral radioactivity artifacts from sinogram data.
  • PET data from 10 subjects using [15O]CO2 inhalation were analyzed, comparing the new method with traditional image-based and sinogram-based methods.
  • The attenuation weighted sinogram method demonstrated good agreement with the image method and accurately estimated delay times, unlike the conventional sinogram method which overestimated delay and underestimated rCBF.

Impact:

  • The proposed method effectively eliminates artifacts from extra-cerebral radioactivity, enabling accurate and rapid delay time estimation.
  • This advancement facilitates reliable quantitative rCBF measurements in clinical settings using the simplified [15O]CO2 inhalation technique.
  • Improved accuracy in delay time estimation leads to more precise rCBF quantification, crucial for diagnosing and monitoring cerebrovascular diseases.
