Half-time bone scintigraphy in prostate and breast cancer patients.

Background: Developments in image reconstruction techniques for planar imaging, also known as enhanced planar processing (EPP), enable the possibility to reconstruct planar scintigraphic images with low count statistics, providing the opportunity to reduce image acquisition time. In this study, the performance of EPP for oncologic half-time bone scintigraphy images was evaluated.

Methods: The EPP software was evaluated for different imaging conditions using standardized phantom experiments.
