ABSTRACT:
Methods of nuclear imaging can include, in a pre-scan, detecting radiation emitted from a patient in a first plurality of viewing angles including at least a first viewing angle and a second viewing angle, generating nuclear data from the detected radiation, reconstructing a first nuclear event distribution from the nuclear data, selecting a region of interest, determining a first signal-to-noise ratio of the first nuclear event distribution within the region of interest, selecting a second plurality of viewing angles not including the first viewing angle, reconstructing a second nuclear event distribution from the nuclear data associated with the second plurality of viewing angles, determining a second signal-to-noise ratio of the second nuclear event distribution within the region of interest, determining that the second signal-to-noise ratio is greater than or equal to the first signal-to-noise ratio, and nuclear imaging the patient by detecting nuclear data based on a nuclear imaging process that is based on the second plurality of viewing angles.
