Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Axial motion during SPECT acquisition causes image artifacts.
  • Accurate motion characterization is crucial for image quality.
  • Existing reconstruction methods may not fully correct for complex axial head motions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a 3D filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm for fan-beam SPECT.
  • To correct for axial motion, including translation, yaw, and pitch rotations.
  • To reduce motion-induced artifacts in SPECT images.

Main Methods:

  • An approximate, practical 3D FBP reconstruction algorithm was developed for fan-beam SPECT.
  • A 1D filter kernel was applied to projections.

  • Angular-view-dependent translation/rotation parameters were incorporated to correct for axial head motions.
  • Simulated 3D Hoffman brain phantom data were used for evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed FBP algorithm successfully corrected for axial translation and rotation.
    • Simulated data with combined axial motions were analyzed.
    • Images reconstructed with the proposed algorithm showed significantly reduced artifacts compared to conventional FBP.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed FBP algorithm offers a practical solution for correcting axial motion in fan-beam SPECT.
    • This method effectively mitigates artifacts caused by head translation and rotation.
    • The algorithm improves the accuracy and quality of reconstructed SPECT images.
