Evaluation of a Triple Energy Window Scatter Correction Method for SPECT Imaging

Back when I was doing my medical physics residency (oh about 6 or so years ago now), I was asked to evaluate a triple-energy window technique for scatter reduction in nuclear medicine imaging. I stashed a copy of what I wrote up over on my other much neglected website and just thought I’d move it over here for storage and posterity. It’s pretty rough and not anywhere near any kind of publishable state, but it was fun to work on and provided a good learning experience.

Objective

To test and evaluate the usefulness of the Triple Energy Window (TEW) method for scatter correction proposed by Ogawa et al.
