Spectrophotometry: Introduction01:16

Spectrophotometry: Introduction

5.5K
Spectrophotometry is the quantitative measurement of the absorption, reflection, diffraction, or transmission of electromagnetic radiation through a material as a function of the intensity and wavelength of the radiation. A spectrophotometer is a device used to measure the change in the radiation intensity caused by its interaction with the material.
The essential components of a spectrophotometer include a source of electromagnetic radiation, a slot for placing a material to be analyzed, and a...

Lossless Lines01:23

Lossless Lines

191
In electrical engineering, a lossless transmission line is characterized by a purely imaginary propagation constant and a resistive characteristic impedance. The ABCD parameters, which describe the relationship between the input and output voltages and currents, indicate an equivalent π circuit with an imaginary series impedance and a shunt admittance. This results in a transmission line that, when the product of the phase constant (beta) and the length of the line is less than pi,...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference01:25

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference

1.3K
Interference leads to systematic error in atomic absorption (AA) measurements by enhancing or diminishing the analytical signal or the background. These interferences can be grouped into three main categories: spectral interference, chemical interference, and physical interference.
Spectral interference occurs when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, falsely elevating or masking the analyte's absorbance. This interference can be corrected using Zeeman,...

Lossy Lines and Overvoltages

141
Transmission-line series resistance and shunt conductance cause three primary effects: attenuation, distortion, and power losses.
Attenuation
When constant series resistance and shunt conductance are present, voltage and current equations are modified. The propagation constant indicates that voltage and current waves consist of both forward and backward traveling components. These waves attenuate as they propagate, with the attenuation factor related to the resistance and conductance. In a...

Boundary Conditions: Lossless Lines

178
Consider a single-phase, two-wire, lossless transmission line terminated by an impedance at the receiving end and a source with Thevenin voltage and impedance at the sending end. The line, with length, has a surge impedance and wave velocity determined by the line's inductance and capacitance.
At the receiving end, the boundary condition states that the voltage equals the product of the receiving-end impedance and current. This relationship is expressed as a function of the incident and...

Transmission-Line Differential Equations01:26

Transmission-Line Differential Equations

460
Transmission lines are essential components of electrical power systems. They are characterized by the distributed nature of resistance (R), inductance (L), and capacitance (C) per unit length. To analyze these lines, differential equations are employed to model the variations in voltage and current along the line.
Line Section Model
A circuit representing a line section of length Δx helps in understanding the transmission line parameters. The voltage V(x) and current i(x) are measured...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Attenuation compensation (AC) is crucial for accurate SPECT quantification.
  • Traditional AC methods rely on transmission scans (e.g., CT), increasing radiation dose, cost, and potential misalignment.
  • CT scans are not always available, necessitating alternative AC approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a transmission-less AC method for SPECT using only emission data.
  • To leverage scattered photons within SPECT data for attenuation map estimation.
  • To improve SPECT quantification and image interpretation without transmission scans.

Main Methods:

  • A hybrid physics and learning-based approach was developed.
  • Scattered photons in SPECT's scatter window were used for initial attenuation map estimation.
  • A convolutional neural network segmented the initial map, assigning pre-defined coefficients.
  • Ordered subsets expectation maximization (OSEM) reconstructed the activity distribution.

Main Results:

  • The proposed transmission-less AC method achieved performance comparable to methods using true attenuation maps.
  • No statistically significant differences were observed in quantitative accuracy.
  • Reconstructed images visually resembled those obtained with true attenuation maps.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method effectively performs transmission-less AC in SPECT.
  • This approach offers a viable alternative to transmission-based AC, reducing radiation dose and costs.
  • Further evaluation is warranted to confirm clinical utility.
