Abstract:
Nuclear medicine images are degraded by blurring caused by the gamma camera system response function and the inherent Poisson noise of radioactivity. Well known digital filters proposed for the restoration of these images have been investigated in this thesis. Particularly, Metz filter and a two-step filter have been extensively studied by the FROC methodology. The effectiveness and practical limitations of the FROC methodology in the assessment of nuclear medicine images have also been investigated. It was observed from the results that the closeness of test patterns to the real clinical case

Abstract:
Patient motion either internal (organ motion) or external (body movement) can produce artefacts that can adversely affect nuclear medicine imaging. Motion artefacts can impair diagnostic information and potentially affect the image findings and prognosis for patients. The goal of this work was to investigate the effect of motion on nuclear medicine imaging and to improve image quality, lesion detectability, and tumour volume delineation by applying motion correction techniques. To investigate the effects of motion under controlled simulated conditions, a three dimensional phantom drive system

Semiconductor-based gamma-ray-imaging detectors are under development for use in high-resolution nuclear medicine imaging applications. These detectors, based on cadmium zinc telluride, hold great promise for delivering improved spatial resolution and detection efficiency over current methods.

Abstract:
Dose as a result of radiation exposure is the notion generally used to disclose the imparted energy in a volume of tissue to a potential biological effect. The basic unit defined by the international system of units (SI system) is the radiation absorbed dose, which is expressed as the mean imparted energy in a mass element of the tissue known as "gray" (Gy) or J/kg. The procedure for ascertaining the absorbed dose is complicated since it involves the radiation transport of numerous types of charged particles and coupled photon interactions. The most precise method is to perform a full 3D Monte

Abstract:
The imaging process can be thought of as the acquisition of data and the processing and display of data. The image quality of the acquired data is assessed using objective methods. The spatial transfer characteristic was measured using the MTF, and the noise properties assessed using Wiener spectra for gamma camera and film-screen systems. An overall measure of image quality, noise equivalent quanta, can then be calculated. The image quality of the displayed data is assessed using subjective methods.

Abstract:
Topographic classification is a nonlinear technique used to enhance nuclear medicine images for tumor detection. Second-order directional derivatives are computed at each pixel location after performing a least-squares fit of the underlying surface using a bivariate cubic polynomial. The eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors computed from the Hessian matrix determine which topographic feature is assigned to the image pixel. Parameter selection for the mask size, curvature threshold, and angle thresholds are chosen to yield the "best" classified image. The classifier is applied to cl

The lung has been satisfactorily modelled as a fractal, and change in lung structure due to disease is assumed to change the fractal dimensionality of the lung. It is hypothesized that those changes in fractal dimension affect perceptually relevant elements (perceived texture) of the lung, and therefore the fractal dimension may prove to be a predictor of diagnosis. If the fractal dimensionality reflects structure in ways more accurately reflecting changes in lung structure than can be achieved by nuclear medicine physicians, then it may also prove useful as a diagnostic tool.

Abstract:
Na rotina clínica de felinos domésticos, algumas modalidades de diagnóstico por imagem, como a ultra-sonografia, radiografia simples e urografia excretora, já são amplamente utilizadas. A cintilografia é uma técnica não invasiva, capaz de oferecer informações funcionais de rins individualmente, porém é considerada uma modalidade menos usual. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar o tempo de excreção renal de felinos domésticos através da cintilografia, em animais com parâmetros ultra-sonográficos e radiográficos dentro dos limites da normalidade. Foram utilizados 15 animais, 9 machos e 6 fêmea

Abstract:
A avaliação da técnica de cintilografia da perfusão pulmonar foi realizada em 10 cães machos, da raça Rottweiler, radiograficamente normais e soronegativos para dirofilariose, utilizando-se o macroagregado de albumina sérica humana marcado com tecnécio-99m ([99mTc](MAA)) como radiofármaco. Cada animal sedado foi submetido a três diferentes tratamentos, com administração de 50.000, 100.000 e 300.000 partículas de MAA. As imagens obtidas com as doses variadas do radiofármaco, foram comparadas de forma qualitativa e quantitativa, incluindo nesta última a avaliação do índice de perfusão pulmonar e

Abstract:
Os radiofármacos são substâncias que possuem radioisótopos em sua composição. Cerca de 95% dos procedimentos realizados em medicina nuclear faz o uso de radiofármacos com finalidade diagnóstica, sendo os reagentes liofilizados (RL) marcados com Tecnécio-99 meta estável (99mTc), obtido a partir de um gerador de 99Mo/99mTc, os mais utilizados. O controle de qualidade representa o conjunto de ensaios a serem realizados para certificar que o produto é adequado ao propósito. Um aspecto importante a ser avaliado nos radiofármacos de 99mTc é a pureza radioquímica (% PRq) para quantificação de pertecn
