| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed at the optimization of the segmental acquisition method to improve the visualization of the cancer lesion in the nuclear medicine diagnosis. We evaluated the usefulness of the segmental acquisition method in clinical FDG-PET tests for rectal cancer. As for the segmental acquisition method, detection of cancer lesions and image quality were significantly superior to the conventional continuous acquisition method, and clinical usefulness was suggested. Then, we evaluated the effects of respiratory motion on the quantitatively of pulmonary nodules on FDG-PET test by experiments using a dynamic thorax phantom. Based on the results of these experiments, we derived a new correction method for the quantitatively of pulmonary nodules on FDG-PET test. Our newly proposed methods could correct the decrease of counts of pulmonary nodules due to partial volume effects and motion effects with acceptable errors.
