Abstract[Summary] In this paper we discussed some problems which occur in the clinical application of a new absorption correction algorithm based on the correction matrix method. The attenuation correction of a distorted image caused by interactions of gamma rays with various tissues is a major problem in the single photon emission computed tomography. So an accurate distribution of gamma ray attenuation coefficient is necessary to reconstruct a quantitative image of radioisotope's distribution. In the new algorithm the correction matrix is constructed with the distribution of attenuation coefficient calculated using measured projections of gamma ray transmission computed tomography data. And the modification of the distorted image is performed iteratively based on the correction matrix method. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we made simulations and fundamental experiments about its validity in the clinical level and discussed from following standpoints. First, we discuss about the influence of the distribution of attenuation coefficient to corrected images calculated in the process of the iterative correction. Second, we discuss also about the statistical noise intermixed inevitably in the process of data aquisition. The results of computer simulation and fundamental experiments showed its validity. And we also show the results of clinical study applied this algorithm.
