Optimisation of quantitative lung SPECT applied to mild COPD: a software phantom simulation study
2015
Background
The amount of inhomogeneities in a 99mTc Technegas single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) lung image, caused by reduced ventilation in lung regions affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is correlated to disease advancement. A quantitative analysis method, the CVT method, measuring these inhomogeneities was proposed in earlier work. To detect mild COPD, which is a difficult task, optimised parameter values are needed.
