Purpose: The influence of the numbers of projection of SPECT exerting on a re-constructed image cannot be strictly evaluated by phantom studies. Therefore, we compared re-constructed images of the FBP method and the ML-EM method by using simulation data.
Methods: Simulation data was entered in the image processing software, and the projection data that changed the numbers of projection was made.
Objective: In the OS-EM method, reconfigured images may be different among reconstruction image processors because the programs are highly arbitrary. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in OS-EM algorithms among four different image processors using a digital phantom dedicated for SPECT data evaluation. The image processors used were GMS-5500A/PI (Toshiba), GENIE Xeleris (GE), e.
