    Coded-aperture imaging enhances nuclear medical imaging quality by using time-modulated apertures to capture projections, enabling 3D reconstruction and improved noise performance over conventional methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Medical imaging
    • Image reconstruction

    Background:

    • Conventional nuclear medical imaging suffers from low signal quality due to inefficient apertures.
    • Coded-aperture imaging offers a solution through a two-step encoding and decoding process.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the imaging properties of time-modulated coded apertures.
    • To introduce a new decoding algorithm for planar projections.
    • To evaluate noise performance and compare with conventional systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing time-modulated coded apertures that encode object projections.
    • Developing a novel decoding algorithm for reconstructing objects from planar projections.
    • Implementing a hybrid slit-pinhole system and a 1D scintillation detector.
