    Coded apertures improve scintigraphic imaging by decoupling resolution and sensitivity, offering focused images on different planes. However, artifacts and availability hinder routine use.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Optics

    Background:

    • Conventional collimators in scintigraphy limit the trade-off between image resolution and sensitivity.
    • Developing advanced imaging techniques is crucial for enhancing diagnostic capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of coded apertures in scintigraphic imaging.
    • To demonstrate the theoretical advantages of coded apertures in thyroid imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Replaced conventional collimators with three Fresnel zone plates to simulate complex projections.
    • Utilized coded apertures to achieve decoupling of resolution and sensitivity.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated theoretical advantages of coded apertures in thyroid imaging.

  • Achieved reconstructed images focused on different planes, offering depth information.
  • Successfully decoupled resolution and sensitivity, overcoming limitations of traditional methods.

    • Conclusions:

    • Coded apertures show promise for improving scintigraphic imaging, particularly in thyroid applications.
    • Further development is needed to address unresolved artifacts and availability issues for routine clinical adoption.
