Abstract:
The main objective is to apply a new quantitative uniformity analysis technique to the gamma camera resolution test. The results in this study carried out using computerized method in which a home-built Matlab program has been used. The images offered as a (TIFF) format then using Matlab the images were accessed. The region of interest was determined using crop function, and then it was smoothed by (7×7) window to reduce image noise. Then the resolution parameters were calculated by finding the maximum and the minimum counts intensity. The regions of interest have been displayed in a (3D) surface for better visualization of the resolution as an objective method rather than the subjective method (the visual perception). The result of this study showed that there is a strong correlation between the intensity (maximum & minimum) of the image and the resolution parameters (In conclusion, we create own program to quantify resolution data base.
