Development And Evaluation Of Coded Aperture Reconstruction Methods For Intraoperative Gamma Cameras

Development and Evaluation of Coded Aperture Reconstruction Methods for Intraoperative Gamma Cameras

Intraoperative Gamma Cameras are becoming increasingly common for radio-guided surgery. Coded Aperture Imaging has been proposed as a collimation technique, because it offers a better trade-off between sensitivity and spatial resolution, but requires image reconstruction. Therefore, a Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Network was developed and quantitatively compared with analytical methods. Furthermore, 3D-localization of point-like sources was investigated.

Gamma Ray Imaging

This book will provide readers with a good overview of some of the most recent advances in the field of detector technology for gamma-ray imaging, especially as it pertains to new applications. There will be a good mixture of general chapters in both technology and applications in medical imaging and industrial testing. The book will have an in-depth review of the research topics from world-leading specialists in the field. The conversion of the gamma-ray signal into analog/digital value will be covered in some chapters. Some would also provide a review of CMOS chips for gamma-ray image sensors.
