Abstract「要旨」 近年SPECTの使用により体内臓器を横断断層像の積み重ねという形で三次元的に描出できるようになり, これを臓器の機能体積測定に応用することが考えられる. しかし, SPECT像はX線CTに比べ空間分解能が悪く臓器の辺縁にボケを生じ, 正しい輪郭を抽出する場合の問題点となっている. われわれはこの輪郭抽出法として微分法とcut off法を併用する方法を考案し, 基礎実験を行った. その結果, 肝・脾臓ファントム, 腎臓ファントムに対して3%以内の誤差範囲で体積を測定することができた.

Abstract[Summary] Using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) , we can obtain the three dimensional organ volume by summing up multitransverse-section images. By this technique, we may measure a functional organ volume. Up to date, however, we have no established method of delineating organ boundaries in the presently available SPECT system. In order to obtain accurate delineation of organ contours, we tried to use the combination of the differential and cut-off method. The accuracy of volume measurements by our method were evaluated in phantom studies. The correlation coefficient obtained between the true and calculated volume of six phantoms with different volume is 0.99 and the regression equation is y=0.99x+6, where y is the variable for calculated volumes and x is the variable for true volumes. The maximum difference between the true and calculated volumes is 2.4% for the kidney phantoms.
