| titleOfInvention | Apparatus for radiopharmaceutical quantification of a body part |
| abstract | The present invention relates to an apparatus for radiopharmaceutical quantification of a body part. It is described to provide (210) a processing unit (30) with at least one gamma image of a body part. The at least one gamma image was acquired by at least one gamma camera configured to detect gamma rays and/or X-rays. The at least one gamma image comprises spectral energy data that comprises data that has resulted from the decay of at least one radiopharmaceutical. The processing unit is provided (220) with characteristic photon emission energies and emission probabilities associated with the decay of the at least one radiopharmaceutical. The processing unit determines (230) an activity of the at least one radiopharmaceutical at a plurality of spatial positions in the body part. The determination for a spatial position of the plurality of spatial positions comprises generating (240) a synthetic spectrum and correlating the generated synthetic spectrum to an experimental spectrum generated from the spectral energy data for at least one position in the at least one gamma image that corresponds to that spatial position. Generating the synthetic spectrum comprises utilising the photon emission energies and emission probabilities associated with the decay of the at least one radiopharmaceutical. The processing unit determines (250) a spatial distribution of the at least one radiopharmaceutical in the body part. |
