Coded-aperture imaging system for reconstructing tomograms of human myocardium

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

To increase the detection efficiency and improve the spatial resolution, a coded-aperture imaging method is applied to nuclear medicine. The aperture consists of nine pinholes arranged in a square grid. Three kinds of coding are sequentially used to record the same number of projections including parallax and overlap. The overlapped images are partially separated, and good tomograms of a ring phantom and a human myocardium are reconstructed using a modified backprojection algorithm with variable damping factor.
