Abstract
SPECT 장치에서 반치폭은 분해능을 평가할 수 있는 척도가 되므로, 본 연구에서는 검출기가 각각 2개와 3개가 있는 장치를 이용하여 우리나라에서 가장 많이 사용되는 7개의 필터 - Band limited, Sheep-logan, Hanning, Hamming, Low pass cosine, Parazen and Butterworth - 에 대해 세 개의 점선원으로 filter별로 MTF curve를 얻어 각각의 축방향에 따른 cut off level 과 profile 곡선을 이용하여 반치폭(FWHM)의 크기의 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 모든 filter에서 cut off level 0.4였을 때 가장 큰 반치폭의 길이가 측정되어 분해능이 가장 떨어졌고, cut off level 0.7에서 가장 높은 분해능을 보였다. MS2에서 가장 짧은 반치폭은 Butterworth filter사용시 <TEX>$11.07\pm0.07mm$</TEX>이었으며, MS3에서는 Hanning filter사용시 <TEX>$8.44\pm0.19mm$</TEX>로 나타났다. In clinical SPECT, FWHM provides quality information of the images obtained under different observing conditions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the optimum cut off level with comparison of FWHM according to cut off levels in each filter - Band limited, Sheep-Logan, Hanning, Hamming, Low pass cosine, Parazen and Butterworth filter in a SPECT camera. I recorded images along the X, Y, Z-axis with 99mTcO4 point source and measured FWHM with profile curves. In conclusion, all filters showed the longest figures of FWHM with cut off level 0.4, which has the worst image resolution. The images with cut off level 0.7 showed best image resolution. The shortest average of FWHM in MS2 was <TEX>$11.07\pm0.07mm$</TEX> using the Butterworth filter, in MS3 it was <TEX>$8.44\pm0.19mm$</TEX> through using the Hanning filter.
