Abstract | The MDAPET camera is a prototype multiring PET scanner with variable transaxial field of view (FOV) that allows for the resizing of the patient opening for optimizing the detection sensitivity for different body cross-sections. This variable FOV feature introduces gaps between the modules: which cause gaps in the sinograms. To fill the gaps, the camera is rotated during data acquisition. The authors have studied the possibility of not rotating the gantry in the brain mode, where the gaps are smallest, and estimating the missing data. For three-dimensional (3D) data, three methods of compensation were evaluated. Without any compensation, artifacts dominated the images. In the first method, the missing data were estimated using linear interpolation in the angular direction of the sinogram. In the second method, the missing data for each pixel was estimated using the average value of several pixels in the angular direction. In the third method, the missing data were first estimated using the averaging or linear interpolation method to construct preliminary images. These images were then used to create new projections and by appropriate weighting these new data were used to fill the gaps in the original data. The authors also evaluated the effect of rebinning the 3D sinograms into two-dimensional (2D) sinograms and then performing a 2D image reconstruction. All the methods produced almost artifact-free images. But none were able to match the quality of the images reconstructed from the 3D data that were acquired with gantry rotation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
