Abstract
In quantitative SPECT with multiple photopeaks, the combination for the multiple photopeaks is performed within or as part of reconstruction rather than post-reconstruction. Reconstruction is performed iteratively, so the combination for the multiple photopeaks is performed within the iteration loop of the reconstruction, such as combining back projected feedback of the different photopeaks for updating the volume.
