Cold and hot region detectability and image quality enhancement in Tc99m SPECT by reduction of scattered gamma photons prior to detection

Presence of scattered gamma photons in SPECT projection data degrades the image quality and limits the accuracy in quantification of radiopharmaceutical distribution. Therefore, it is imperative to remove the scattered gamma photons from SPECT data. In this work, a material filter technique, which a...
