Work carried out
- Model SPECT acquisitions using SIMIND and the instrumental characteristics of the gamma camera used at IMENA.
- Process simulated projections and reconstruct three-dimensional images with PyTomography.
- Analyse volumes with AMIDE and Fiji, defining regions and volumes of interest (ROI/VOI).
- Use Python scripts for data processing, plots and evaluation of contrast, noise and counting statistics.
- Perform quality-control phantom acquisitions using Jaszczak and hot-sphere phantoms with technetium-99m.
- Process DICOM data with InterView XP and compare experimental measurements with simulations.
- Study the effects of count statistics, collimator choice and acquisition parameters on reconstructed images.
- Participate in gamma-camera quality control and hospital radiation protection practices.
