"Enhanced α-γ Discrimination in Co-doped LaBr₃:Ce" by Kan Yang, Peter R. Menge and Vladimir Ouspenski WLaBr₃:Ce crystal scintillator can be co-doped with various alkaline earth metals to improve light output and energy resolution of the basic scintillator. Another benefit is improvement of alpha/gamma discrimination via pulse shape analysis. LaBr₃:Ce contains a low level of actinium contamination, which produces an alpha particle background in radiation energy spectra. more...

"LROC Investigation of Three Strategies for Reducing the Impact of Respiratory Motion on the Detection of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules in SPECT" by Mark S. Smyczynski, Howard C. Gifford, Joyoni Dey, Andre Lehovich, Joseph E. McNamara, W. Paul Segars and Michael A. King The objective of this investigation was to determine the effectiveness of three motion reducing strategies in diminishing the degrading impact of respiratory motion on the detection of small solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) in single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging in comparison to a standard clinical acquisition and the ideal case of imaging in the absence of respiratory motion. To do this nonuniform rational B-spline cardiac-torso (NCAT) phantoms based on human-volunteer CT studies were generated spanning the respiratory cycle for a normal background distribution of Tc-99 m NeoTect. more...
