    • A radiation image read-out apparatus including a lens array and a line sensor for reading an image recorded on a stimulable phosphor sheet provides a read-out image of high quality which is free from a spurious pattern due to non-aperture regions of the lens array. A first memory stores an image signal representing the image recorded on the stimulable phosphor sheet. Spurious pattern signal calculating means calculates a spurious pattern signal based on positions of the non-aperture regions on the lens array. The spurious pattern signal is stored in a second memory. Image modification means reads the image signal and the spurious pattern signal from the first and second memories to calculate a processed image signal free from any spurious pattern signal on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The spurious pattern signal may instead be obtained by causing the apparatus to read a uniform radiation image recorded on the stimulable phosphor sheet.

    • An adjustable gamma radiation isolation shield that effectively shields the gamma camera from potentially interfering radiation emitted from sources other than the particular anatomical portion under examination. The shield is placed adjacent to the breast or other body portion under examination on the side thereof opposite that addressed by the gamma camera i.e., at about 90° to the viewing angle of the camera. The shield includes a first gamma ray permeable layer capable of absorbing fluorescent low energy radiation produced by a second adjacent gamma radiation absorbing layer or any other source. In operation, the breast is located between the gamma camera/detector and shield. Gamma radiation emitted by the radiopharmaceutical-containing breast impinges the gamma camera for measurement and simultaneously penetrates the gamma permeable layer and is absorbed by the gamma radiation absorbing layer. Fluorescence produced upon absorption of the gamma radiation is inhibited from reintroduction into the gamma camera by absorption in the first gamma permeable layer that absorbs this secondary radiation. Gamma or other potentially interfering radiation entering the system from beyond the gamma radiation absorbing layer is similarly absorbed and any secondary fluorescent radiation produced therein absorbed by the first gamma permeable layer.
    • 一个可调节的伽马辐射隔离屏蔽,可有效屏蔽伽马相机免受从被检查的特定解剖部分以外的其他光源发射的潜在干扰辐射。 护罩被放置在与伽马照相机相对的一侧相对于被检查的乳房或其他身体部分附近,即与摄像机的视角成约90°。 屏蔽包括能够吸收由第二相邻伽马射线吸收层或任何其它源产生的荧光低能辐射的第一伽马射线可渗透层。 在操作中,乳房位于伽马相机/检测器和屏蔽之间。 由含放射性药物的乳腺发射的γ射线照射用于测量的γ照相机并同时穿透γ透射层并被伽马射线吸收层吸收。 通过在吸收该二次辐射的第一γ透射层中的吸收来抑制伽马射线吸收时产生的荧光被再次引入γ照相机。 γ射线吸收层之外进入系统的γ或其他潜在干扰辐射被类似地吸收,并且其中产生的任何二次荧光辐射由第一γ透射层吸收。

    • A coded aperture is placed in proximity of a patient's body and a 2D coded image is acquired in conventional manner. The basic data-acquisition geometry is similar to that used in various coded-aperture systems. According to one aspect of the invention, additional coded images are acquired with different spacings between the aperture and the detector. Alternatively, additional coded images could be acquired with multiple movable apertures or by varying the location of the aperture relative to a patient. Another aspect of the invention resides in the recognition that presently available computer algorithms can process these multiple coded images in such a way as to estimate the integrals of the 3D object over a set of parallel cylindrical tubes extending through the volume of the target object. Such “tube integrals” can be thought of as the output of an ideal collimator where the sensitivity is confined to a tubular region of constant cross-section.
    • 编码孔径放置在患者身体附近,并且以常规方式获取2D编码图像。 基本的数据采集几何与在各种编码孔径系统中使用的几何相似。 根据本发明的一个方面,在孔径和检测器之间采用不同间隔的附加编码图像。 或者,可以利用多个可移动孔或通过改变孔相对于患者的位置来获取附加编码图像。 本发明的另一方面在于认识到目前可用的计算机算法可以以这样的方式处理这些多个编码图像,以便通过延伸穿过目标对象的体积的一组平行圆柱形管来估计3D对象的积分。 这种“管积分”可以被认为是理想准直器的输出,其中灵敏度被限制在恒定横截面的管状区域。

    • An apparatus for generating gamma transmission and gamma emission images simultaneously includes a camera and a line transmission source of gamma radiation disposed on opposite sides of an imaging area in which a patient lies. The line detector moves along a path that substantially traverses the field of view of the gamma camera. As the gamma camera moves an acceptance region and a mask region are electronically defined and moved across the camera's field of view. Photons striking the camera are categorized according to their energy and the region of impingement. The categorization defined an emission image, a transmission image and a crosstalk image. The transmission and crosstalk images are combined to form a corrected transmission image that then is used along with the emission image to produce and image of the patient.

    • A method for imaging a target volume comprises the steps of: radiating a small bandwidth of energy toward the target volume; focusing the small bandwidth of energy into a beam; moving the target volume through a plurality of positions within the focused beam; collecting a beam of energy scattered from the target volume with a non-diffractive confocal coded aperture; generating a shadow image of said aperture from every point source of radiation in the target volume; and, reconstructing the shadow image into a 3-dimensional image of the every point source by mathematically correlating the shadow image with a digital or analog version of the coded aperture. The method can comprise the step of collecting the beam of energy scattered from the target volume with a Fresnel zone plate.

    • The present invention is an apparatus for examining a body part. The apparatus comprises a mechanism for immobilizing and compressing the body part. The apparatus also comprises a mechanism for providing an internal anatomical image of the body part and a mechanism for detecting single gamma-rays emitted by a radiotracer infiltrated into the body part. The detecting mechanism is disposed in an adjacent relationship with the mechanism for providing an internal anatomic image so that the body part remains in the same position during and between anatomic and radiotracer imaging. In one embodiment, the detecting mechanism includes a detector module disposed on one side of the immobilizing mechanism. The detector module preferably has at least one array of gamma ray sensitive material in communication with a position detector. In another embodiment, the detecting mechanism includes a pair of detector modules disposed one on each side of the immobilizing mechanism. The present invention is also an apparatus for examining a body part which comprises a mechanism for immobilizing and compressing the body part and a mechanism for providing a stereotactic internal anatomical image of the body part. The apparatus also comprises a mechanism for providing a stereotactic physiological image of the body part in an adjacent relationship with the mechanism for providing an internal anatomic image such that the body part remains in the same position during and between stereotactic anatomic and radiotracer imaging.
