The average AUC at 20 cm/min was significantly lower than that at 15 cm/min (p<0.05) . However, no other significant differences were found (p=0.448, 0.139). The average Ct/pixel and CNR decreased at 15, 17, and 20 cm/min.

The head motion patterns were divided into rotation angle dependency (single rotation and multiple rotations) and rotation frequency dependency and evaluated using structural similarity (SSIM).Results: For rotation angle dependency, Canon was robust against small rotation angles and fine movements. Despite the rotation angle, GE was robust against movements, with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) improving correction functionality. Philips could be used with compressed sensitivity encoding (CS), and robustness varied with blade width. SIEMENS was robust against large movements. For rotation frequency dependency, results were similar across the 4 vendors.Conclusion: The rotation angle and rotation frequency dependencies of the PROPELLER technology from the 4 vendors were quantitatively evaluated.

Three methods were employed to measure tumor motion. The first method was the manual delineation of the tumor on each phase CT image with a treatment planning system (RTPS [Manual]). The second method was the automatic delineation of the tumor structure by deformation and copying (RTPS [Auto]). The third method was tumor motion analysis software (Simple 4D Analysis Ver.1.3.1 [Simple 4D]; Triangle Products, Chiba, Japan). For each method, the difference between the phantom motion and the measured value was determined.Results: The differences (mean±standard deviation: SD) in the superior-inferior direction for RTPS (Manual), RTPS (Auto), and Simple 4D in the without-artifact images were -0.6 mm±0.6 mm, -5.0 mm±2.2 mm, and -1.0 mm±0.0 mm, respectively. The difference in the left-right and anterior-posterior directions was within 1 mm for all methods.

This yielded a total of 384 lesions (96 SPECT images). We investigated the weighted kappa (κw) coefficient between DSsoft and DSvisual at various TNRs and evaluated the change in analysis accuracy before and after applying newly created analysis parameters. DSs were defined on a 4-point scale (4: excellent, 3: adequate, 2: average, 1: poor), and visual evaluations were conducted by three board-certified nuclear medicine technologists. The κw coefficients between DSsoft and DSvisual were 0.75, 0.97, and 0.93 for TNRs 4, 6, and 8, respectively, with each κw coefficient being significant (p<0.01). In the TNR 4 image group, κw coefficients significantly increased with the implementation of new parameters proposed in this study. We concluded that the software's automatic analysis would be closer to a visual assessment within the TNR range of 4-8 and that applying new parameters derived from this study to images with TNR 4 further improves the software's automatic analysis accuracy of DSsoft. We suggest that software will be a useful tool for optimizing bone SPECT imaging techniques.","PeriodicalId":74309,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Hoshasen Gijutsu Gakkai zasshi","volume":" ","pages":"1175-1183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142333952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The same trend was observed in the case of intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy.Conclusion: It was shown that a 1 mm change in the source dwell position can affect the dose by up to 2% or more.
