Fully Automated Quantification of the Striatal Uptake Ratio of [99mTc]-TRODAT with SPECT Imaging: Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance in Parkinson’s Disease and the Temporal Regression of Striatal Tracer Uptake

Figure 2

The comparison of the proposed and conventional procedures for computing SRR based on SPM. Data are presented as squares while operations are presented in ovals. In the conventional method, the predefined VOIs are applied on the spatially normalized images. On the other hand, the proposed method performs an inverse transformation of the predefined VOIs to be applied on the original images for SRR calculation.
