Radioimaging
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of radioimaging, comprising:
- (a) collecting radioimaging data from a patient using a plurality of detection, amplification and signal processing paths configured to avoid saturation due to radiating portions of the patient'"'"'s body structure; and
(b) reconstructing a radiation emission image using data generated by said plurality of paths,wherein collecting comprises(c) identifying preferred sets of views for radioactive-emission measurements of a region of interest within the body, comprising;
(i) providing a model of the region of interest;
(ii) identifying a preferred set of views for the model which reduce saturation effects.
