Abstract
A system and method for adjusting count rate information, comprising: acquiring, using at least one detector, static image information from at least one imaged object; acquiring, using the at least one detector, whole body image information from the at least one imaged object; determining, using at least one computer application, the count rate information using the static image information and the whole body image information; and adjusting, using the at least one computer application, the count rate information by accounting for movement between the at least one detector and the at least one imaged object.
Claims18
A method for adjusting count rate information, comprising:
- acquiring, using at least one detector, static image information from at least one imaged object;
- acquiring, using the at least one detector, whole body image information from the at least one imaged object such that the whole body image information is distinct from the static image information, wherein the whole body images information is sweep information;
- determining, using at least one computer application, the count rate information using the static image information and the whole body image information;
- and
- adjusting, using the at least one computer application, the count rate information using count saturation information and by accounting for movement of the at least one detector with respect to the at least one imaged object.
A system for adjusting count rate information, comprising:
- at least one application executed by at least one processor, the at least one application configured for:
- acquiring, using at least one detector, static image information from at least one imaged object;
- acquiring, using the at least one detector, whole body image information from the at least one imaged object such that the whole body image information is distinct from the static image information, wherein the whole body image information is sweep information;
- determining the count rate information using the static image information and the whole body image information;
- and
- adjusting the count rate information using count saturation information and by accounting for movement of the at least one detector with respect to the at least one imaged object.
