Quantitation in positron emission computed tomography: 6. effect of nonuniform resolution

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
E J HoffmanM E Phelps

Abstract

The intrinsic resolution (FWHM) of coincident bismuth germanate detector pairs was measured for geometries consistent with positron emission computed tomography systems designed for brain imaging. The resolutions were measured as a function of the position in the field of view (FOV) for single slice and multislice configurations for both the image and axial resolutions. System diameters of 66 to 42 cm were simulated, and intrinsic resolution variation for image and axial dimensions for a 24 cm FOV were 14 and 32% and 24 and 39%, respectively. Measurement of axial resolutions of interplane slices of multiplane systems employing interplane septa showed resolution variations for the 24 cm FOV of as large as a factor of three. A simple model was shown to predict the dominant features of the line shapes. Images of phantoms with small axial dimensions indicate that the variations in resolution, particularly in interplane data, seriously compromise the validity of point to point comparison of information within an image or between single plane and interplane images. Serious variations in axial resolution were shown to create artifacts and degrade the image resolution. Index Terms: Emission computed tomography--Image quality.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
