    Abstract: A PET detector array (8) comprising detector pixels acquires PET detection counts along lines of response (LORs). The counts are reconstructed to generate a reconstructed PET image (36, 46). The reconstructing is corrected for missing LORs which are missing due to dead detector pixels of the PET detector array. The correction may be by estimating counts along the missing LORs (60) by interpolating counts along LORs (66) neighboring the missing LORs. The interpolation may be iterative to handle contiguous groups of missing detector pixels. The correction may be by computing a sensitivity matrix having matrix elements corresponding to image elements (80, 82) of the reconstructed PET image. In this case, each matrix element is computed as a summation over all LORs intersecting the corresponding image element excepting the missing LORs. The computed sensitivity matrix is used in the reconstructing.

    Abstract: A database (52) stores image recipient reconstruction profiles each comprising image reconstruction parameter values. An image reconstruction module (30) is configured to reconstruct medical imaging data to generate a reconstructed image. An image reconstruction setup module (50) is configured to retrieve an image recipient reconstruction profile from the database (52) for an intended image recipient associated with a set of medical imaging data and to invoke the image reconstruction module (30) to reconstruct the set of medical imaging data using image reconstruction parameter values of the retrieved image recipient reconstruction profile to generate a reconstructed image for the intended image recipient. A feedback acquisition module (54) is configured to acquire feedback from the intended image recipient pertaining to the reconstructed image for the intended image recipient. A profile updating module (56) is configured to update the image recipient reconstruction profile of the intended image recipient based on the acquired feedback.

    Abstract: A positron emission tomography (PET) system includes a memory (18), a subject support (3), a categorizing unit (20), and a reconstruction unit (22). The memory (18) continuously records detected coincident event pairs detected by PET detectors (4). The subject support (3) supports a subject and moves in a continuous movement through a field of view (10) of the PET detectors (4). The categorizing unit (20) categorizes the recorded coincident pairs into each of a plurality of spatially defined virtual frame (14). The reconstruction unit (22) reconstructs the categorized coincident pairs of each virtual frame into a frame image and combines the frame images into a common elongated image.

    Abstract: A nuclear medicine image reconstruction method generates a reconstructed image (44) by performing iterative image in reconstruction (30, 130) on nuclear medicine imaging data (22). The iterative image reconstruction produces a sequence of update images (34, 36, 134, 136). During the iterative image reconstruction, a standardized uptake value (SUV) transform (40) is applied to convert an update image (34, 36) to an update SUV image (42, 46). The SUV transform scales values of voxels of the update image to SUV values using scaling factors including at least a body size metric and a dose metric. During the iterative image reconstruction, at least one parameter used in an image update of the iterative image reconstruction is adjusted using the update SUV image. For example, a parameter of a prior or filter (38) incorporated into an image reconstruction update step (32) or used in filtering of an update image (36) may be adjusted.
