Effect of ME Collimator Characteristic, Energy Window Width, and Reconstruction Algorithm Selection on Imaging Performance of Yttrium-90: Simulation Study

ConclusionsThe acquired optimal ME collimator and energy window along with using a suitable reconstruction algorithm lead to improved contrast and SNR of90Y bremsstrahlung images of hot spheres of the digital Jaszczak phantom. This can improve the accuracy and precision of the90Y activity distribution estimation after radioembolization in targeted radionuclide therapy.
