    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Radiological Sciences

    Background:

    • Large field-of-view cameras in medical imaging present challenges for small organ visualization.
    • High radiotracer activity can exacerbate imaging problems, leading to suboptimal data quality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simple and cost-effective mask designed to mitigate imaging issues.
    • To improve the quality of data collected for small organ imaging, specifically the heart.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a low-cost, easily implementable mask.
    • Application of the mask during data acquisition with a large field-of-view camera.

    Main Results:

    • The mask successfully resolved common problems associated with imaging small organs.
    • Improved image quality and data integrity were observed in cardiac imaging scenarios.

    Conclusions:

    • The described mask offers a practical solution for enhancing small organ imaging.
    • This innovation provides a valuable tool for nuclear medicine and cardiology, improving diagnostic accuracy.
