Reduction of Collimator Correction Artefacts with Bayesian Reconstruction in Spect

Figure 1

An example of the Gibbs-like ringing artefacts. Image (a) represents a reconstructed transverse slice of a phantom with active spheres with different diameters without collimator response correction, and image (b) shows a transverse slice with collimator response correction. While the collimator response correction improves the image resolution, it generates an artefact that can be seen as a hole in the middle of the two biggest circles, indicated by black arrows.
