Abstract

To evaluate the accuracy of the values of lesion extent and severity provided by the two automatic quantification programs AutoQUANT and 4D-MSPECT using myocardial perfusion images generated by Monte Carlo simulation of a digital phantom. The combination between a realistic computer phantom and an accurate scintillation camera simulation tool allows the generation of realistic single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images similar to those obtained in clinical patient studies.
