Abstract
Parameterized model reconstruction is used for internal dose tomography. The parameterized model, solved for within the reconstruction, models the dose level and may account for diffusion, isotope half-life, and/or biological half-life. Using the detected emissions from different scans (e.g., from different scan sessions in a given cycle) as input for the one reconstruction, the parameterized model reconstruction determines the biodistribution of dose at any time.
