Abstract

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. Afterwards, reconstructed images of the FBP and the ML-EM methods were compared with respect to contrast, %COV, and the NMSE value. Result: When the numbers of projection of the FBP and the ML-EM method were decreased, all of the contrast, %COV, and the NMSE value were more deteriorated than that of the ideal image. Therefore, the image quality of SPECT improves with both FBP and ML-EM methods when there are many numbers of projection. Moreover, the FBP method was excellent in a cold contrast, and the ML-EM method was uniformly excellent. Therefore, an understanding of features and their inspection are effective for the selection of each image reconstruction method.
