| Abstract | It is important to obtain an accurate attenuation map in order to produce quantitative SPECT image. Compton scatter window (CSW) technique has been proposed to get the outline of the object in SPECT. This method requires no additional scan or transmission source and is capable to rapidly and easily estimate the edge of the object. Our goal of this study is to estimate the optimized energy window for Compton scattered photon in order to obtain the accurate edge of the object. We especially focused on the scatter photons which are scattered at the one camera and entered to the another camera (backscatter photons) for the dual-head SPECT system. In order to evaluate the effect of the backscatter photons we performed Monte-Carlo simulation. In the simulation, a circular phantom of 15 cm diameter filled with water was located between two cameras which were 25.6 cm apart each other. The radioactive source of Tc-99 m was either uniformly distributed in the phantom (the uniform phantom) or placed at the center of the phantom (the hot spot phantom). Spatial and energy distributions of the backscatter photons were examined. According to the simulation results, the optimized energy window for CSW technique was 95-123 keV and 102-112 keV for the uniform phantom and the hot spot phantom, respectively. |

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.
