目的 探讨符合线路SPECT配置针孔准直器进行小动物高能成像的可行性。方法 ① 点源试验。将14.8 MBq的99Tcm、131I和18F三种核素的点源分别置于针孔准直器表面中心轴线不同距离处,采集点源图像并计算分辨率;② 小鼠成像。首先采集小鼠的99Tcm和18F-FDG平面图像,次日采集小鼠的18F-FDG符合线路断层融合影像。结果 99Tcm的点源图像清晰、无伪影;131I和18F点源周围均存在少量透射和散射伪影,图像边缘有较明显的环形透射伪影。三种核素点源分辨率均随距离增加而下降,在距离探头30 mm位置,99Tcm、131I和18F的点源分辨率FWHM分别为4.3、5.2、7.4 mm,分辨率FWTM分别为7.1、10.1、14.5 mm。其中,18F分辨率FWHM为7.2 mm,优于SPECT的系统分辨率10 mm。经过模拟放大2.5倍后,小鼠的高、低能影像均较清晰,环形伪影位于有效视野之外。小鼠符合线路18F-FDG的影像不清晰。结论 在对分辨率要求不高的场合,符合线路SPECT配置低能针孔准直器进行小动物高能成像是可行的。
Abstract
Objective This study was aimed to explore the feasibility of small animal high-energy imaging using coincidence SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computerized Tomography) with a pinhole collimator. Methods First, the point sources of 14.8MBq’s three radionuclides (99Tcm, 131I and 18F) were placed at different distances from the central axis of the pinhole collimator respectively. Images of point sources were acquired to calculate their resolutions. Then, 99Tcm and 18F-FDG images of mice were acquired respectively. The coincidence images of the mouse were acquired on the second day. Results The images of 99Tcm point source were clear without artifacts; however, there were minor penetration and scattered artifacts in 131I and 18F images. Additionally, both images had significant circular penetration artifacts in their edges. Resolutions of 99Tcm, 131I and 18F were declined with the distance increased. At the distance of 30 mm from the pinhole collimator, their FWHM (Full-Widths-at-Half-Maximum) and FWTM (Full-Widths-at-Tenth-Maximum) resolutions were 4.3, 5.2, 7.4 mm and 7.1, 10.1, 14.5 mm respectively. The FWHM resolution of 18F showed advantages over the resolution of the images acquired by SPECT. After being zoomed in 2.5 times, both the high-energy and low-energy mice images were clear with the ring artifacts outside the effective field of view. Coincidence 18F-FDG images of the mouse were not clear. Conclusion The coincidence SPECT with the low-energy pinhole collimator can be used for small animal high-energy imaging if there was no restriction on the resolution of images.
