Abstract
An imaging data set () comprising detected counts along lines of response (LORs) is reconstructed () to generate a full-volume image at a standard resolution. A region selection graphical user interface (GUI) () is provided via which a user-chosen region of interest (ROI) is defined in the full-volume image, and this is automatically adjusted by identifying an anatomical feature corresponding to the user-chosen ROI and adjusting the user-chosen ROI to improve alignment with that feature. A sub-set () of the counts of the imaging data set is selected () for reconstructing the ROI, and only the selected sub-set is reconstructed () to generate a ROI image () representing the ROI at a higher resolution than the standard resolution. A fraction of the sub-set of counts may be reconstructed using different reconstruction algorithms () to generate corresponding sample ROI images, and a reconstruction algorithm selection graphical user interface () employs these sample ROI images.
