We have designed and built a small-animal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging system equipped with parallel-hole and multipinhole collimators and capable of circular or helical SPECT. Copper-beryllium parallel-hole collimators suitable for imaging the $35 keV photons from the
Accurate system modeling of the photon acquisition process is essential for optimizing quality in pinhole SPECT imaging. Conventional pinhole SPECT imaging assumes ideal pinhole geometry. However, neglect of pinhole finite aperture could lead to unfavorable quality degradations, such as positioning
SIMD arrays are likely to become increasingly important as coprocessors in domain specific systems as architects continue to leverage RAM technology in their design. The problem this work addresses is the efficient evaluation of SIMD arrays with respect to complex applications while accounting for o
