  • Publication number: 20240087119
    Abstract: A medical image diagnosis system includes an imaging apparatus and processing circuitry. The imaging apparatus applies one-time or multiple-time medical imaging to a subject to which a plurality of drugs having a tissue accumulation property, which corresponds to a tissue characteristic, are administered successively or simultaneously. The processing circuitry reconstructs one or a plurality of medical images, based on one or a plurality of set of raw data acquired by the one-time or multiple-time medical imaging. The processing circuitry estimates a tissue characteristic of a target region, based on a spatial distribution of the drugs rendered on the one or the plurality of medical images. The processing circuitry displays the estimated tissue characteristic.

  • Patent number: 11759162
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to removing scatter from a SPECT scan by utilizing a radiative transfer equation (RTE) method. An attenuation map and emission map are acquired for generating scatter sources maps and scatter on detectors using the RTE method. The estimated scatter on detectors can be removed to produce an image of a SPECT scan with less scatter. Both first-order and multiple-order scatter can be estimated and removed. Additionally, scatter caused by multiple tracers can be determined and removed.

  • Patent number: 11684321
    Abstract: A radiation diagnostic device according to an aspect of the present invention includes a first detector, a second detector, and processing circuitry. The first detector detects Cherenkov light that is generated when radiation passes. The second detector is disposed to be opposed to the first detector on a side distant from a generation source of the radiation, and detects energy information of the radiation. The processing circuitry specifies Compton scattering events detected by the second detector, and determines an event corresponding to an incident channel among the specified Compton scattering events based on a detection result obtained by the first detector.
