Abstract「要旨」Transmission computed tomography(TCT)とemission computed tomography(ECT)の同時収集による不均一吸収体の吸収補正(STEP)の基礎的検討を, 心筋ファントムを用いて行った. 3検出器型ガンマカメラに心臓用ファンビームコリメータを装着し, 99mTcを外部線源としたTCT像より吸収体の分布画像を作成し, 吸収補正を行った. 同方法によって得られた心筋断層像は, 心筋内RI分布の均一性が優れており, かつ高分解能のSPECT像が得られた. 本法はTCTとECTを同時に収集できるため両者の位置ずれがなく, かつ検査時間の短縮が計られる画期的な方法である. このため実用化に適しており臨床への応用が期待される. 「I. はじめに」Single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)を用いた核医学検査では, 放出される放射線の体内での吸収や散乱は原理的に避けられない.

Abstract[Summary]Simultaneous transmission emission protocol(STEP), developed for the non-uniform attenuation correction of single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)was evaluated using the cardiac phantom prepared with and without a myocardial wall defect. Emission computed tomography(ECT)of the cardiac phantom using 201Tl was acquired. Transmission data(TCT)were taken using a line source of 99mTc. Myocardial images with STEP method were superior in the homogeneity of intramyocardial radioactivity and spatial resolution to the conventional SPECT images. This is an excellent method because of the accurate matching position between TCT and ECT images and shortening the examination time by simultaneous data acquisition. It would be clinically useful for diagnosing various myocardial diseases.
