    Coded aperture imaging (CAI) showed comparable results to multiple-view pinhole imaging (MVPI) for thyroid imaging in a small patient group. While CAI offers theoretical benefits, long reconstruction times require further development for clinical advantage.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Thyroid imaging is crucial for diagnosing various conditions.
    • Multiple-view pinhole imaging (MVPI) is a conventional technique.
    • Coded aperture imaging (CAI) presents theoretical advantages in resolution and efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare coded aperture imaging (CAI) with multiple-view pinhole imaging (MVPI) for thyroid imaging.
    • To assess if CAI's theoretical benefits are achievable in clinical practice.
    • To determine CAI's advantages over conventional MVPI.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 19 patients.
    • Evaluation of thyroid imaging using both CAI and MVPI.
    • Qualitative assessment of image quality and diagnostic performance.

    Main Results:

    • CAI images were rated better in 5 cases, equal in 13, and worse in 1 case compared to MVPI.
    • Image quality and diagnostic utility were largely comparable between the two methods.
    • A significant drawback of CAI was its extended image reconstruction time.

    Conclusions:

    • CAI demonstrates potential but did not significantly outperform MVPI in this clinical setting.
    • The long reconstruction time is a major limitation for CAI's widespread adoption.
    • Further research and development are needed to optimize CAI for clinical thyroid imaging.
