# RADIONUCLIDES: RADIATION DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION

> **NIH NIH R01** · UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR · 1987 · $254,708

## Abstract

The long term goal of this work is the development of methods to quantify
the regional distribution of radiolabeled tracers in humans and animals.

This is to be accomplished in part through the development of third
generation instruments for single photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) which approach the physical limits of sensitivity and resolution.
A second component of this work is devising optimal image reconstruction
techniques which extract the maximum information from the data and which
include corrections for attenuation, scatter, and the measurement
geometry.  The emphasis in this component is on iterative, discrete
estimation algorithms.
