    Abstract: In the scatter estimation method of the present invention, Step S1 (first TOF projection data generation) and Step S4 (non-TOF scatter estimation algorithm) are performed, and Step S2 (second TOF projection data generation) and Step S3 (calculation of TOF direction distribution ratio) are performed, and Step S5 (calculation of TOF scatter projection data) is performed. A distribution ratio is obtained from the second TOF projection data measured in a scattered radiation energy window (low energy window). Since the target of distribution is non-TOF scatter projection data in a reconstruction data energy window (standard energy window), post-distribution TOF scatter projection data is obtained as approximate TOF scatter projection data in the reconstruction data energy window (standard energy window), and scatter estimation can be accurately performed.

    Abstract: An image reconstruction processing method according to this invention is characterized by adding weight to conventional reconstruction processing steps. That is, weighting is performed when performing the reconstruction process based on optimization calculations of a multivariate function in which a digital image is unknown, and which consists of data function generalized from the likelihood function of Poisson distribution. When a weight coefficient is a constant independent of element data, for example, the weight coefficient is set based on directionality of linear noises occurring in a reconstruction image, or the weight coefficient is set based on detection depth position information of detector elements of DOI detectors (step S1). By weighting partial functions with weight coefficients of back projection to a reconstruction image of the element data corresponding to the partial functions, artifacts appearing on the image can be suppressed, or the spatial resolution of the image can be improved.

    Abstract: A computer calculates interference fringe phase estimated value data (30) of a phase-restored object image by performing iterative approximation calculation using interference fringe intensity data (10) measured by a digital holography apparatus and interference fringe phase initial value data (20), which is an estimated initial phase value of the image of the object. The interference fringe phase initial value data (20) is calculated by an initial phase estimator (300). The initial phase estimator (300) is constructed by implementing machine learning using interference fringe intensity data and the like for learning. The computer acquires reconfigured intensity data (40) and reconfigured phase data (50) by performing optical wave propagation calculation using the interference fringe phase estimation value data (30) of the image of the object acquired through phase restoration, and the interference fringe intensity data (10) used as input data for the initial phase estimator (300). This provides an iterative approximation calculation method and the like capable of making an initial value of a solution used in the iterative approximation calculation method a value close to the true value.

    Abstract: A radiation tomograph whereby the acquisition of transmission data and the measurement of annihilation radiation pairs are simultaneously performed by a single detector ring so as to realize both reduction of the manufacturing cost of a PET device and reduction of a burden to a subject. The transmission data, which shows the distribution of annihilation radiation absorption characteristics within a subject, is computed from data relating to annihilation radiation pairs in the vicinity of a surface of the subject. The transmission data can be acquired by detecting a radioactive drug derived from the subject, which makes imaging exclusively for transmission data unnecessary.

    Abstract: Sensitivity correction for multiple γ radiation detectors is performed by use of sensitivity coefficients obtained through a first sensitivity coefficient calculation step for obtaining sensitivity coefficients, classified according to sensitivity factors, on the basis of coincidence counting data collected as a result of detection of γ radiation emitted from a rotated rod-shaped calibration radiation source, and through a third sensitivity coefficient calculation step for obtaining sensitivity coefficients derived from a geometrical arrangement on the basis of coincidence counting data collected in a state where arrangement of the γ radiation detectors is changed. A re-constructed image is obtained on the basis of data acquired after the sensitivity correction is finished.

    Abstract: In a reconstruction processing (S1), reconstruction processing is performed to list mode data to firstly capture a reconstruction image. Then, in a projection step (S2), the reconstruction image obtained in the reconstruction processing step is projected to capture a projection image. In a scatter component extracting step S4, low-frequency components are extracted from the projection image obtained in the projection step to obtain scatter components. Even when the data contains a missing region, the reconstruction processing unlikely to be influenced by the missing region suppresses the influence by the missing, and the resultant reconstruction image is projected. Consequently, the projection image having dummy data being interpolated to the missing region is obtainable. As a result, projection from the list mode data through the reconstruction image achieves the projection image with no missing data. Accordingly, precious estimation of the scatter components is obtainable.
