Abstract: Method and apparatus for scanning a region of interest (ROI) by a gamma detector. An exemplary method includes determining, for each of multiple detector configurations, a respective weight based on an absorption profile, associating each of a plurality of portions of the ROI with a respective gamma attenuation value; and detecting gamma radiation from multiple detector configurations for time periods allocated among the detector configurations based on the weights determined.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems for scanning at least a portion of a patient with a gamma detector mounted on an arm extending towards the patient. One described method includes: obtaining data indicative or coordinates of points on the outer surface of the patient; determining a target position for the gamma detector based on the data indicative, of the coordinates; and causing the gamma detector to detect gamma radiation from the patient when the gamma detector is at the target position.

Abstract: A method of processing a SPECT image of a region of interest is disclosed. The SPECT image was obtained using at least one gamma detector detecting gamma radiation from the region of interest at multiple detector configurations, and the method includes: obtaining data indicative of the detector configurations and their spatial relationships to the region of interest; determining a resolution level for each of a plurality of directions in each point in the image based on the data obtained; and processing the image based on the resolution levels determined.
