ABSTRACT:
A method for correcting predictable errors in the location of detected scintillation events acquired during emission computed tomography by a rotational scintillation gamma camera system. The method includes calibrating the rotational scintillation camera system and generating a look-up table comprising a set of pairs of x and y offset values, one pair for each viewing angle. The calibration reflects systemic deviations in the location of the rotating camera head detector measured in terms of x and y coordinates in the frame of reference of the detector for a plurality of view angles relative to the geometric ideal expected path. Once a look-up table is generated for a camera system, the detected location of each gamma event is altered in real time by adjusting in the camera head the x,y coordinate location of each event by the x,y offset values previously generated for the corresponding viewing angle associated with the detected event.
