The INSERT SPECT/MRI system faces challenges with event reconstruction due to photon depth of interaction. The novel SPECT system is subject to parallax errors due to its crystal size and slit aperture collimator. We present a simple measure of the DOI errors through SIMIND experiments; by modelling the DOI layers we are able to improve the reconstruction of projection data in the INSERT scanner. A set of capillary phantoms are simulated to explore the impact of DOI on the resolution of the scanner and establish corrections in the system's reconstruction. date: 2021-08-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/NSS/MIC42677.2020.9508027 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1889074 doi: 10.1109/NSS/MIC42677.2020.9508027 lyricists_name: Erlandsson, Kjell lyricists_name: Hutton, Brian lyricists_name: Morahan, Ashley lyricists_id: KERLA65 lyricists_id: BHUTT63 lyricists_id: AMORA55 actors_name: Dewerpe, Marie actors_id: MDDEW97 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Proceedings of the 2020 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference (NSS/MIC) place_of_pub: Boston, MA, USA event_title: 2020 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference event_location: Boston (Virtual), MA, US event_dates: 31 October 2020 - 07 November 2020 institution: 2020 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference book_title: Proceedings of the 2020 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference (NSS/MIC) citation: Morahan, A; Erlandsson, K; Cerrato, A; D'Adda, I; Carminati, M; Ljungberg, M; Fiorini, C; Morahan, A; Erlandsson, K; Cerrato, A; D'Adda, I; Carminati, M; Ljungberg, M; Fiorini, C; Hutton, BF; - view fewer <#> (2021) Impact of DOI in a clinical SPECT/MRI system:asimulation study.
