Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Detector Physics

Background:

  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners are crucial for medical diagnostics.
  • High-resolution imaging is essential for early disease detection in breast tissue.
  • Current PET systems face limitations in spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate combined event estimation and image reconstruction algorithms for the novel rectangular breast PET scanner (PETX).
  • To assess the performance of depth-of-interaction (DOI) microcrystal element (dMiCE) crystal pairs for precise event localization.
  • To enable fast and quantitatively accurate image reconstruction for breast PET imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Monte Carlo simulator to model the PETX system using true coincident events.
  • Experimentally determined the performance of dMiCE crystal pairs across various depths of interaction.
  • Implemented three statistical methods for photon event positioning and an exact analytical rebinning algorithm for image reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Simulations show the PETX system can produce quantitatively accurate images from true coincident events.
  • Achieved a contrast recovery coefficient greater than 0.8 for 5 mm spheres at the scanner's axial center.
  • Demonstrated a spatial resolution (FWHM) of 3 mm across most of the imaging field of view.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed positioning and reconstruction algorithms for the PETX system show significant potential.
  • The PETX system can generate high-quality, high-resolution, and quantitatively accurate breast PET images.
  • Clinical feasibility is supported by achievable reconstruction times.
