Advances in image reconstruction software in nuclear cardiology: Is all that glitters gold?

Claudio Marcassa et al. J Nucl Cardiol. 2017 Feb.

Abstract

The cornerstone results of nuclear cardiology in the last 25 years were obtained with the Filtered Back Projection as the preferred reconstruction method for tomographic studies. Recently, evolution of the OSEM iterative reconstruction algorithms was implemented by different vendors. The value and limitations of the new methods are briefly addressed.

Keywords: Gated-SPECT; image reconstruction; iterative algorithms.
