Collimatorless SPECT for imaging targeted alpha therapy (TAT)

 

Supervisor: Youngho SEO and Kai VETTER

  • Simulated the collimatorless SPECT geometry by Geant4 and study possible alpha-emitting radionuclides (Ra-223, Ac-225 and Th-227) for TAT;
  • Proposed the weighted robust least squares (WRLS) algorithm to reconstruct source images from the collimatorless projections with extremely low activity;
  • Built a neural network (UNet + ADMM Net) for better image reconstruction; 
  • Optimized the detection systems and propose novel detection system designs.
