Abstract	We investigated the effects of resolution recovery and SPECT system sensitivity on performance in estimating binding potential (BP) from dynamic brain SPECT data obtained using I-123-altropane, a dopamine transporter imaging agent. BP is estimated by Fischman's approach, whereby a gamma variate function is fitted to the difference between striatal and occipital time-activity curves (TAC). The TAC were obtained using an approach published by Huesman (1984), who estimated the activity concentration in a ROI directly from the projection dataset without reconstructing the image. We modified this method by incorporating resolution recovery, using a Metz filter. We simulated dynamic projection datasets of a simple striatal phantom and determined the accuracy and precision of estimation of striatal activity concentration and binding potential, both for current system sensitivity and for the higher sensitivity of a new collimator, presently being manufactured. This collimator is expected to increase sensitivity at the center of the brain by a factor of 3, without degrading resolution. The parameter, P, of the Metz filter, which controls the extent of resolution recovery, was varied from 1 to 10/sup 5/. For estimation of striatal activity concentration, increasing the value of P over this range reduced bias and gradually increased variance. For estimation of BP, however, increasing the value of P beyond 2 (for current sensitivity) and beyond 10 (for increased sensitivity) dramatically increased variance. For estimation of striatal activity, there was a broad minimum in RMSE of /spl sim/12% for P between 7 and 100 at current sensitivity, and /spl sim/10% for P between 10 and 300 for improved sensitivity. For estimation of binding potential, the minimum RMSE was 32% (P=2) for current sensitivity, and 17% (p=7) for improved sensitivity. The differences in the effects of resolution recovery on estimation of binding potential and striatal activity concentration are due to the nonlinear nature of the former task.
